Description
The house fell into disrepair but was saved thanks to the efforts of residents who recognized its importance
The House is Saved and Rebuilt
It looked like Boscobel would soon be gone. When historian Ben Frazier, who lived in Garrison, heard that a house wrecking crew was on their way to tear down the house, he sprang into action and managed to raise $10,000 to but the house and save it.
2. Welcome to Boscobel
My name is Kurt Rhoads, and I am delighted you decided to visit us today. My wife, Nance, and I will be your guides on this virtual tour. Please start walking along this red brick path. It's not the yellow brick road, but while you are with us, you will meet some extraordinary people and hear their wonderful and hair-raising stories. Nance and I moved here a number of years ago because this place is full of history, and one of the most beautiful places in the world. We think so anyway - we hope you'll agree. If you haven't already visited the mansion, you must take a guided tour of it by one of our docents. They'll tell you what went on inside Boscobel. We'll tell you what happened outside. Now, you have a nice decision to make: What story to hear first?
