Teddy Roosevelt was here!

Oh my! We have been just overwhelmed and tickled to hear about this old place from our neighbors. From perhaps hidden treasures, Indian burial grounds to famous guests that stayed here WAY back!

There was a guest book that was about 24" thick or more with a complied list of dignitary's, royalty, and Teddy Roosevelt! WOW! I'm overjoyed and can't wait to dig deeper to hear more!Well, the book was supposedly donated to a museum, along with much of the contents of the hunting lodge. Be nice to have a lead on where they went!

If these walls could talk I'm sure they would have plenty to say! From rope beds to hunters lockers to brass shotgun shells... Ah, the history of this place as well as the area around us.

I heard about fun fact of Gypsy the cow, who produced a record breaking milk production during her lifetime is buried on Belshaw to the more sinister of the Spilotro brothers (Mob) that were dumped in a corn field. (The film Casino re-enacts the event)

Still in ewe of our little slice of heaven here! Want a tour of the place? We are still working on it and hope to have it cleaned up more for future tours as well as BB and antique shop. The Barn sale has been keeping us busy and we do accept gently used items.

So if you are in the neighborhood to stop by and chat. Hope to see ya soon!
