A lovely, succinct telling of the Kentuck Knob story from the conception to the decades of family life within to the passing of the keys. I enjoyed it thoroughly and it added extra color to experiencing the home in-person.

I genuinely felt Mrs. Hagan’s love for their home, the wildlife, and the beauty of Southwestern PA.

Excellent photographs and primary documents too!
