This land came from my great-grandfather, who originally owned 300 acres. But in 1968, when they put in the lake, he had to sell 200 of those acres. Without the land to farm, he shifted his focus to something new—he built houses and set up spots for RVs, letting people enjoy the lake. He even ran a bait shop and helped launch boats. Now, I’m restoring it all, reliving my childhood, and honoring what my great-grandfather built here.
