The finished floor. At this point, Sam shared this little story:

“After we started the repairs, the great, great, whatever grand daughter of Ephram stopped by. She still lived in the area! She had all kinds of stories she had heard as a girl about this place that she then shared with us. After he moved into the other house, this was his workshop (interesting) and his summer kitchen. She told us the property served as a summer camp for the Native American tribes in the area. Each summer, they would gather here to trade with each other and the whiteman, have a powwow and ceremonies, and then go their separate ways for the rest of the year. She told us about her childhood and playing in the old building and on the property. She is very old and was so happy to share the stories and to see the place being repaired.”

No greater endorsement than that.
