History of the Gardner Inn

A glimpse of the past


The previous owners were so graciouse to leave us some interesting artifacts. They, too, appreciated this old house for the stories it could tell. This post I will share more old late 1800's-early 1900's photos as well as some old newspaper clippings that mention the history of this house. To be the third family to ever live in this house is a privilege not lost on our family.

I love this picture with all of the family lined up outside.


And here they are on the big front porch. Those clothes...just beautiful!

I found this old auction listing online for the old sign for the Inn. I contacted the auction house to find out if it sold, but they did not respond.

More of the Gardner family

This was an article in a newspaper from 1926. It was left for us by the previous owners. 

Here is the excerpt about our house....
