My husband David and I moved to the area in the 1970's, and have long been enchanted by the village of Oldenburg and the Drees Haus in particular. The house sold privately two or three times, and we were able to buy it in 2016 only because we happened to know the owners at that time. We spent the next two years updating and furnishing it. David and I have spent years collecting antiques, so we had great fun furnishing the house with several period pieces of furniture and local artwork.
