"Step into the legacy of honor embodied by this house, once the domain of the indomitable Lt. Colonel Katie A Boyd. A trailblazer for women in the military, she epitomized strength, resilience, and unwavering principles.
Lt. Colonel Boyd was no ordinary soldier—she was a force of nature. Tough as nails, she faced down challenges with grit and determination, never backing down from injustice or disrespect. With a heart of gold, she mentored countless young soldiers, urging them to pursue education and personal growth. Her impact was profound, shaping lives and leaving an enduring legacy of honor and integrity.
During her service in Okinawa amid the Vietnam War, Lt. Colonel Boyd stood as a beacon of courage and compassion. For many wounded troops, she was their first glimpse of hope, offering solace and support in the face of adversity.
As her nephew and niece, we were privileged to know and love her. Her memory lives on in every corner of this house, a testament to her strength and spirit.
In 2017, we opened the doors of this unique #AppalachianFarmhouse to guests like you, inviting you to experience the warmth and history that permeates these walls. So come, take a moment to rest and reflect, and honor the remarkable legacy of Lt. Colonel Katie A Boyd."
