We had a wonderful chance encounter with a lovely couple visiting from Quincy, Massachusetts. Nettie Jarvis was already closed for the day, but after meeting them, we couldn’t resist opening the doors and letting them explore. They ended up finding a few treasures to take home—but the real treasure of the evening was the connection that followed.
Thanks to Jenny and Tom Wigginton, Ian was able to learn more about his family tree and uncover pieces of his own history along the way.
What started as an unexpected visit turned into a fantastic evening filled with stories, history, new friendships, and a little bit of that Nettie Jarvis magic.
Ann and Ian, we absolutely loved having you. Enjoy the rest of your Kentucky stay, and we hope to see you for the JD Shelburne street concert here on Saturday!
