The old barn at the Inn has been revived this Christmas! Residents from the past seen here putting up the hay, sweating and itching at these barn doors, always a daunting task, especially for the kids! Look closely and you'll see one of those "kids" decorating the tree. The cows are happy to have their own Christmas Tree. Times have certainly changed!

PS, it's beautiful at night. Drive by slow so you don't miss it.

This morning's greeting at the Inn was exceptionally warm, even though it's chilly here.....47 degrees. Seeing the cows resting in the morning dew across the field creates a sense of peace and tranquility. Rowdy, on the other hand, wants to round them up!:) With such a beautiful start, it's shaping up to be a wonderful day, so make the most of it!

Fall has arrived at the Inn. Our thoughts over the past year are summed up in the first picture: gratitude, thankfulness, and blessings. We appreciate the vibrant colors and mild temperatures of fall, and even Bear is thrilled with the cooler weather.

This is wonderful news for our little town of Boones Mill!

PRESS RELEASE

BOONES MILL ACCEPTS GIFT OF LAND FOR FIRST PARK

September 10, 2024 - The Town of Boones Mill has accepted a “Deed of Gift” from Carter Bank & Trust for two (2) acres of land between the bank branch and Maggodee Creek in downtown Boones Mill. As it will be named, Carter Park is part of a multi-year downtown revitalization project.

Carter Park will preserve larger trees in its southeastern corner, create a green parking lot along its northern edge, add a playground for Boones Mill’s younger residents, and include a plaza centered around a large millstone and “LOVE” sign. Park development will be made possible through public-private partnerships, ensuring the park is a self-sustaining asset for the community. The park’s design emphasizes accessibility and environmental sustainability with pervious parking materials and native plant landscaping.

“We are so grateful and fortunate for the generosity that Carter Bank and Trust has given to our town. The citizens of Boones Mill will now have an opportunity to relax and fellowship with family and friends while enjoying the amenities of our community. Our town was established in 1927, and as mayor, I look forward to seeing Boones Mill continue to provide a place that folks are proud to call home,” says Victor E. Conner, Mayor.

“For years, we have sought meaningful ways to utilize these two acres, and we were thrilled when the Town of Boones Mill approached us about the opportunity to transform it into a community space for all of Boones Mill to enjoy. This project hits at the heart of who we are as an organization. For the last 50 years, our mission has been to enhance and uplift the communities we are part of. Partnering with the Town of Boones Mill to bring Carter Park to life stands as a testament to our commitment to creating opportunities for more people to prosper,” says Litz Van D**e, CEO Carter Bank.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place in the near future. Details will be announced soon. For additional information, contact B.T. Fitzpatrick III, Town Manager, at [email protected].

No filters at the Inn this morning! What beauty God has given us!

The Inn was honored to have more of the Wray family, (former residents), pre-1949 to grace it's doors. One of the children wrote a book and look what is on the front cover, a similar picture of the Inn. Several of the scenes in the book were right out of her childhood and time spent at the Inn! Of course, we wanted an autographed copy and she obliged us. You can find the book on Amazon, it's a great read. So much history here at our Inn!

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Poff family's ownership of the Inn, which was acquired on August 12, 1949, by William B. and Vergie L. Poff from Jesse E. and Elizabeth Wray Bowman. The Inn has remained a family legacy, passed down through three generations of Poffs. Pictured are the Bowmans with their son on the farm, alongside William and Vergie Poff standing in the Inn's Parlor. The original deed, accompanied by the photographs, is displayed on the Parlor's mantel, where William and Vergie were standing.

The Inn was honored to have a small part of the Wray family visit this week, small part, because the Wrays are a large family. Some of these folks actually lived at the Inn many years ago. Lots of fun stories were shared, pictures exchanged, and lots of laughter. We so enjoyed it!

Stay tuned for vintage photos of the Inn that were shared with us. The Inn has a rich history!

We love pulling in from a long day at work and seeing this, the world seems so insignificant in comparison to this peaceful view!
