If you read the entire timeline at the link provided you will see it is a high-end bed and breakfast / event venue now - http://www.thecastlepost.com/default.asp

I wouldn't have read that whole rambling mess-of-a-timeline myself, except that it facinated me... finally, the rest of the story!

For the whole of my life I have watched that castle from the car window as my family passed it coming and going on every major holiday trip to my Grandparents house. When I was very young I realized that I could KNOW when I saw the castle exactly how many more hours it would be before I could get out of that darned car!

I was so terribly sad when I looked up the hill and saw that it had burned - and even though I was middle-aged and a married lady it was a shock to my childhood fantasies of "happily ever after". I remember wanting to cry.

I am very, very happy to see it brought to life. It has waited a LONG time to be loved.

Now THAT is one cool frog. A frog like that would have sure simplified 8th grade science class... Bonus - it makes me appreciate that people aren't see-through.

Warning!!!!! I viewed this link and had a nice little old-school trojan infected my computer - it started opening copies of this site as fast as I could close them.

This was such a nice site of photos, I sure hope the infection it wasn't intended by the site's owner.
