Living at Riverstone is wonderful. It is a gift to be able to be the caretaker of a landmark historical property. When you live in a home that is nearly 300 years old, it provides a unique perspective on ones short time on this earth. During its" lifetime" Riverstone was a ferry captains home, a trading post on the American frontier, a tavern an antique store, a private residence and now resurrected as a B&B once again opening its doors to traveller to the area.
In todays fast moving world one can glean a bit of perspective while sitting by the fire and contemplating that the residents of Riverstone over the centuries discussed revolting from England and forming the United States, slavery, secession, two World Wars, civil rights, and all of the landmark events of the centuries.
From that armchair vantage point one can see the continuity of our country in both the good and challenging times.
