The Glenn Farm






















The Glenn Farm
By Anna Misenti

Last night we arrived at the beautiful Glenn Farm and received a tour of all the old rooms and learned a little about the history of the house. After that we ate a delicious spaghetti dinner which included garlic bread and salad. Then the chaperones and seventh and eighth grade class got settled in and some of us went for a night walk to the silo and farm. After our walk, we closed with a psalm and all left to our rooms. We all love the Glenn Farm! Mr. Harvey’s class hopes you all have a great day. We are hopefully going to play basketball, and then visit Mt. Vernon.

This morning, we all woke up around 7:30. Once we had dressed, some of us went out to the barn to play basketball, and some of us swung on the tire swing. Next we got another tour, but this time of the grounds, thirty-five acres. Besides a house, the farm includes a barn, a blacksmith’s shop, a springhouse, and a few other buildings. It has been so cold outside that Hailey and Bailey’s wet hair literally froze! After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. In the next hour or so we hope to be in the car on the way to Mt. Vernon. Lexi’s Aunt Janice is AMAZING!!

  1. Thanks Anna and Madeline for your descriptions of the farm and your activities there. It helps us feel like we're there with you (and thanks Dalis and MaKenzie for describing your exhausting day of travel and first day in DC). Have fun!

  4. Anna & Madeline:
    Don't you just love that farm? Me too! So glad you could meet my sister - and family - and enjoy their property. My favorite is night time in the barn - hopefully you can turn on the Christmas lights and hang out there under the stars - hope its not too cold for that.
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and views. I loved your entry!
