This is the Marchant House in 2010 where Mildred Marchant raised her family and lived for many, many years.  When she passed, her family asked if we would like to purchase the property.

This spring we will update the electricity to the house and start the interior restoration, complete the exterior work, and also start on the gardens.  We hope to add the 1900 Youtz Carriage House to this project, too.
