Saving Little Mount Vernon

My dad has dreamed about saving this place for years. I am in my twenties now, but I remember coming to the lake as a child and passing by the overgrown lot. My dad would tell me about the beautiful house in the woods. Hearing the story always intrigued me (the story as my dad imagined it, that is). You see, this place caught my dad's attention long before the trees and brush had grown to hide it from view, long before he knew the depth of it's beauty, and long before we knew it's real story. For my dad, the thought of the life that once filled the rooms of this now abandoned home was undeniably moving. It lit a spark in him, and that spark brought us here.On March 29, 2018, the dream finally started to come to life. The sale of the house closed, my dad and my mom officially owned this place, and then, the work began.We started this blog to share with you, to share the progress, the frustrations, and all that comes in between. Yes, we know it won't be easy, but with that said, we know that it is sure to be interesting. Stay tuned, because we are just getting started.This is the story of our journey to save Little Mount Vernon.
