Well done video! I enjoyed seeing the house and hearing about the history. I know Jim from our years past bank working days. He is extremenly knowledgable about his family history. Glad to see he is keeping the history going, while enjoying his retired life.

I have a dresser that was my dads from his mom! I don’t know exactly what it’s made of! But, I love it…🥰 I’ve also got a wrought iron stool/chair that my moms uncle dolph made….❤️ I also have a cherry rolling pen my grandpa made my mammaw and a gravy bowl she gave them! My daddy worked at sawmills all his life! For the Townsends, Hutton and Burbonnet, Woodard’s, etc. he also pulled galax, made princess pine wreaths, he done whatever it took to raise us girls!!! He was a jack of all trades for sure! Couldn’t hardly even write his name, but he knew his math and a ruler and had so much more knowledge of the woods etc., than we will ever know!!!!🥰🙌🏼❤️my momma kept us girls in line, and loved quilting! Spring water is the best water ever… Love my cast iron frying pans I got 2 I’d have more if I had the money, there expensive now! 😂 we had a man named Harry cook in town and my daddy helped him a lot with his sheep, and they would get drunk together sometimes…😉😂daddy thought the world of him!!!

Found this post from 5 yrs ago and wanted to comment about Ashe County and what I learned about it. WOW…I would love to visit it. Most of the county is located atop a rolling plateau that ranges from 2,500 to 3,000 feet (760 to 910 m) above sea level. On the county's southeastern border the land drops sharply to about 1,500 feet (460 m) in neighboring Wilkes County, North Carolina. Numerous mountains and hills dot the plateau. In total, five mountains in the county rise to over 5,000 feet (1,500 m). A prominent landmark is Mount Jefferson, which is a State Natural Area and rises to 4,665 feet (1,422 m), and towers more than 1,600 feet (490 m) above the towns of Jefferson and West Jefferson.
