On the way back to the hotel, we drove past something that surprised us both. And simultaneously said “we have to stop, you can go in!!!!”.
Just a random BOEING C-97G STRATOFREIGHTER, next to the road. And it’s opened so you can go inside, check it out, even sit in the cockpit. And everything...
Section 1 is the gardens and the main house. It was interesting, gardens well done.
Alex Jordan, (Alexander John Jordan Jr. (March 3, 1914 – November 6, 1989)) built a house and filled it with whatever he found interesting, it was so…different he started to sell tickets for people to see it. He...
