The side porch shelters the house plants in summer and provides a quiet place for watching the world go by. Benches, a hammock, and swing provide peaceful spots to reflect on life and into the Victorian gazing balls or listen to the bubbling fountain. The owners have created this atmosphere for their own pleasure and enjoyment.

A flower lined sidewalk leads to the two story carriage house in the back yard which houses the Spirit of Independence Suite, the Frontier Trails Suite, and the End of the Trails Suite.
Various nooks provide seating throughout the yard and garden.

Lithophanes in their Victorian style stands and music box tunes are both available for purchase. Great souvenirs of your visit or gifts for folks back home. A rose bush hides the hammock under a big shade tree in the back yard. The gardens surrounding the house are extremely quiet and secluded yet the house is within a few blocks of shopping, restaurants, and historic sites.
