Wouldn't it be great if the walls of the old homes featured in this book could actually talk to us? They could tell stories of the first human who stood on the land that the house now occupies. But since walls can't talk, we have incorportated our own stories and photographs of the families who lived in these homes as well as information on dates of construction. With pictures we have tried to capture the heart and soul of the houses; what the original homeowner wanted his neighbors and community to see. We hope this is a link in the chain that binds us to our past, a tie to our sometimes mysterious but always richly satisfying heritage.
