".. one of the churches of the Frescoes .. construction on the church began in 1905 .. first service was Christmas Eve that same year .. Rev William Savage held services here .. he eventually retired to Glendale Springs, becoming the only resident priest in the County before the 1970's .. Rev Savage died there in 1934 .. in 1971, Bishop Henry sent Faulton Hodge, a seminarian, to Ashe County for the summer. The following year, after his ordination, Father Hodge returned to Ashe County becoming the Priest-in-Charge. .. Father Hodge's interest in art and his meeting with Ben Long led to the painting of the Frescoes for which the Parrish is famous.

Blue Ridge Mountains.. Taken from an overlook on Mt Jefferson in NC..

Chauteau Laurinda is located in Sparta, NC. It is a family owned/run winery. All fruit is either grown by them or by other areas in NC.. only one exception I know of..the fruit for Mango wine... the Mangos come from Florida! The large wrap-around porch has rocking chairs, tables and is used for wine tasting events, I am told. Very friendly souls.. who also have re-furbished an old farm house into a Bed & Breakfast. This is off the beaten path.. have no idea how SKB found it! Each tme we visit the mountains, a trip to the winery is a must ! © All rights reserved 3/12/14 - Now that we live much closer, I think visits might be more frequent ( am getting low on the Mango wine )
