As I told you then, this house is just something special and I appreciate your letting us share with your adventure inside.<BR/>Will there be times that it will be open now that the restoration work is being carried out? There could be some slick as heck living history programs done on that property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-24278622976262205302008-10-12T21:15:00.000-04:002008-10-12T21:15:00.000-04:00Jeff,Thanks for the kind comment.

I'm glad you enjoy exploring the battlefield with me.<BR/><BR/>No, we've not been showered by a windfall, we're simply frugal, we have good friends (SHAF and others), and pennies are pinched until they are bruised.<BR/><BR/>The folks in charge here must make a very compelling case for these irreplaceable structures, once they are gone they are gone. They are big, tangible, beautiful reminders of an important event and a continuum that we are a part of, and perhaps for that reason their care strikes an empathetic chord in the hearts of charitable people and organizations.<BR/><BR/>It is rewarding.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/><BR/>MannieMannie Gentilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225923971073419275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-27196560630587905862008-10-12T21:03:00.000-04:002008-10-12T21:03:00.000-04:00Mannie,I always enjoy these visits to the places m...Mannie,<BR/><BR/>I always enjoy these visits to the places most of us never get to see. <BR/><BR/>It seems there is a lot of ongoing restoration work at several sites around the battlefield. Is this the norm or has Antietam been especially "blessed" with some extra funding this year?<BR/><BR/>It is rewarding to see these historic sites being preserved.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Again,<BR/><BR/>JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
