The first open house for the Sugar Loaf Mound House was a huge success. We must have had at least 100-150 people. I had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people that day. Some of Walter's friends came by and told more colorful stories. The neighbor who had lived there since she was 7 years old stopped over for a minute. Archaeologists, preservationists, and photographers all were there. I was never in need of company. I was truly excited to see so many people with so much interest on the mound.
Many people had viewed the mound house from the highway on their way to work every morning and had always been curious. Another large majority of people were those who have always favored a river view. There are so many possibilities for the property in the future. Someone could renovate the house and enjoy an urban getaway, build a new house, or turn the property into a park. I would love to hear every one's ideas!
I have found a flickr site for photos that were taken that day. The link is published here http://www.flickr.com/photos/jerkinhead/sets/72157608816255131/
