And the 1808 was THE place to be as far as I was concerned as a kid. It was so big and full of activity. Cars arriving with out-of-state license plates. Delivery trucks. Big doings.

I remember the dances in the barn to the left of the 1808 House, because as we drove past I saw the lights on and heard the music. It looked like so much fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if Vera was involved in those.

Yeah, the 1808 House was one of those lovely mysterious places, like the big homes in Bank Village, occupied by people I never knew or met. However, I was just a kid. Vera's obit has to be the longest one so far for NIHS. Her quilts are amazing.
