Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Were they made that way or did someone cut them up to make smaller amounts of money?

Somebody would cut them.....I have only seen Spanish coins that were cut up..... I have never seen any U.S. coins cut but that doesn't mean they weren't.
You have most likely seen some cowboy movies where they would buy a drink and pay by bits...4 bits a dollar.

Can you tell me any of the history of your dads house...like anybody famous live there or stay there at anytime or anything happen there that I may of heard of.
It looks like a great place from what I could see in the pictures....lots of chimney's lot of open ground.
I guess I have way to many questions or maybe I am being to nosey but I have been talking to a owner of a farm here that has been in his family since 1807 and he still lives there.....plus there are several family grave yards and one slave grave yard......neat stuff even if I don't get permission to dig there.

I'll ask him. :faint

The house was built by President Buchanan, before he became president. If I remember right, I'll have to double check with Dad, he built it as a wedding present for a cousin of his. :)
