Your friendly hosts, Harvey and Betty Ross, are collectors of books, toys, dolls, pottery and quilts, just to name a few.
Betty is always eager to share her interest in healthy cooking and nutrition. Harvey has an enthusiasm for old cars, you will enjoy seeing his newly restored 1929 Model A Ford. He is working on a 1929 Hupmobile, which is a real gem to see.
