George Washington’s visit to Cole Farmhouse

✨ Honored to share this stunning pen and ink drawing from our Airbnb guest, commemorating George Washington’s visit to Cole Farmhouse on August 19, 1790. 🎨🇺🇸 Each stroke tells a story: of embers once glowing, boots resting on braided rugs, and the quiet weight of history settling into timber and stone. Thank you, Christian Y. Krueger, for this incredible artwork.
Your creativity brought history to life in the most heartfelt way. 🙏❤️ Grateful for guests who leave more than memories — they leave legacy.
