Katie's grandmother recently moved down South from Oregon and in lieu of her finding a place to stay (I assume, anyway), a friend of the family is allowing her to stay in an old plantation home that belongs to his family. It turns out that the home is on the national register of historic places (or something similar) and was used as a civil war hospital.
Since she and her husband live out there, Katie goes out there every time she's in town for Sunday lunches, and this weekend I went out also. I took a few pics of the place, and the surrounding area. The house is in a state of disrepair because of the large amount of money that it would take to fix the place up, but inside it's really amazing. I wish there were a way to get some money to fix the place up... but anywho, on to the pics. You can see them in the Gallery.

they had a fight/war in keatchie and the old college was used as hospital during war time, that is why i felt maybe they were near each other.

I'm not really sure where keatchie begins and ends, but it's in the neighborhood.
