Thanks

We had a successful month and after a little rest, we will be planning our fall garden. I already have volunteers who have signed up but for all you gardeners, who want to be a part of the continued beautification of the Sweetwater Mansion, please send your information to sweetwatermansion@comcast.net.

Also, thanks to all our volunteers and story tellers who did a GREAT job. Thanks to the owner of Sweetwater Mansion to allow us to open up this great home for all to see and for all the continued renovation she has done to be able to open this up to the public.

We are planning in the future more history tours, book signings, the arts, etc.

Any authors (history, paranormal, romance, etc.) who are interested in being a part of our future Book Signings at Sweetwater Mansion, please send your bio, pictures, etc. to sweetwatermansion@comcast.net.
