Karen has always known that she was born and baptized in Columbus but the family moved shortly afterwards and never even returned for a visit. With a bit of sleuthing she found the house address. Dad confirmed that he and Mother rented a second floor bedroom and a private kitchen in the basement both on the west (right) side of the house as newlyweds for Dad’s final year of study at OSU. Shortly after Karen’s birth they moved to a neighborhood nearer Model Dairy where Dad was a manager. Not long after that a new job prompted a move first to Louisville then beyond. More than twenty years later Dad again worked for a while in Columbus but the family never again lived here.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
