Finger Lakes
Re: Finger Lakes
Liquid that is absolutely beautiful. I can relate with you when you say your place is your favorite in the world, but I cannot begin to imagine how cool it is for seven generations of your family to spend time in a sanctuary like that!
We have only had our place on the lake for 10 years but it has become much more than a retreat in our minds. And my kids are young adults now, but they've spent 10 very impressionable years growing up there. Now they know that their kids are going to be able to enjoy it growing up and after they're grown, and hopefully their kids after that.
That is just unbelievably cool to know that your family built that house a year before the Civil War ended.
I kind of follow that sort of thing. Ever hear of the Oklahoma Land Run? My great-great grandfather homesteaded the place where I live in 1889. It's not on the lake, but the land I live on is pretty special to all of us in the family.
1863. That is just amazing

Re: Finger Lakes
I absolutely want to hear some history! So in the top picture I see a fireplace on the left. I can place the living room with the fireplace and windows but I can't place the dining room?
How many bedrooms are there? Over the years how do you guys handle rite of passage? Like I'm sure your Dad is the head duck now, but how does that pass to you, and then your sons? What about brothers? How do you decide who is the head duck? How do y'all handle overhead? In 7 generations of siblings who gets choice over rooms?
On my wifes side her Grandfather got a 99 year lease on a handbuilt log cabin in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Its just outside of Cluster South Dakota and sets in the Black Hills National Forest and right on the edge of the Cluster Wildlife refuge. Its another one of those family affairs where we have to deal with lots of family if we want to go stay a week. So I'm really curious how you handle things.
Also, what is the house next door? Was that built later?
Man, that place is COOL!
