This is the Oval Withdrawing Room inside the Mansion. While this room has many interesting collection items, the shape of the room is one of the room’s most intriguing features.

We love this view inside our new threshing barn! This was built as an early 19th-century reproduction barn, using post and beam construction. Isn't it stunning?!
