Above are some photos of before and after work on the fence. We also had a stone building out front that was supposed to be a Union army ammo storage building. It was taken down sometime in the 1980's. I remember seeing it years ago. There were eight thousand troops here during the war, which kept the house from being completed until the war was over. The army would take the lumber.
The fence is supposed to have been built by the Ennis family slaves which they sold during the war. Some of the fence still remains further out Glen Lily from our house. We rebuilt 1,500 feet of it that is in front of the house. It was begun in April and finished this week. Felipe Briceno and his wife Maria did most of the work and clearing of the trees and brush that had overtaken everything over the years. We did enough stacking to attest that it is slow and not easy.
There are also two photos of the Dishman Mill on the creek by our house. It is about three hundred yards from the place where lost river comes out of the ground. The Ennis family that built our house also built the mill in 1840. The dam is stll there. The mill house burned years ago. This has to be the best kept secret in Warren county.
