Plummer House, RST, MN, USA - 3rd June 2013
By: sannah
Hi there!
sannah had promised to take me alone to a very special place in town.
It is located on top of a hill in the middle of a residental neighborhood. sannah parked her car and we went closer.
And closer ...
What looks like a cottage in the English countryside is called Plummer House. It is one of the most historic places in town. Mr. Plummer who was a doctor at the upcoming Mayo Clinic built this house for his family to live in.
Nowadays, it belongs to the local Historic Society. The house itself is closed to the public (but sannah and sannah-man have once attended a special event in there and she told me that the inside matches the outside), but a nearby park is open to the public until dusk.
Even the little shed looks like a small cottage!
The area surrounding the house is very green at the moment and you can say "nature rules". I saw a squirrel and even a chipmunk - but they disappeared when I approached them. They must be afraid of bears.
The backside of the house has a wonderful natural garden.
Nowadays, you can hear lots of traffic through the trees because the Apache Mall is close - but about 80 years ago, when the house was built, it was a the city's south border and the view must have been beautiful and quiet!
Oh, the reason for this trip?
sannah told me I am traveling on my own soon and she wanted to see how I am doing without my buddy Nils. Obviously, I did well and she is not afraid to send me out to Germany! Someone in the sour land is already waiting for me. I hope folks there is sweet, not sour, but sannah has no doubt.
I am so excited I already climbed into my envelope.
But sannah calmed me down. I won't be leaving before tomorrow, she said!
I hope I won't travel for too long ...
All the best,
Tommi
