Friday, April 21st, we took our volunteers on a short trip to the Morgan House in Dublin, Ohio. The Morgan House is named after Morgan's Raiders. General Morgan, Confederate Army, lead a group of raiders north into Ohio. They stayed for a night in the log cabin of the Weavers and on their land. Morgans raiders were captured a short time later. The house was moved to the current location and expanded. Today, it is a large gift shop and restaurant with several dining rooms and an extensive collection of goods for sale, including food, clothing, kitchen items, household items, jewelry, and even furniture.
Sixteen of us went on the trip, but there are many more volunteers. Our volunteers do a variety of jobs that maks our Young@Heart program possible. These jobs include cooking, serving, setting tables, making table decorations, signups for trips, registration for the luncheons (name tag table), sound system and driving for the luncheons and day trips. We could not do our Young@Heart without the volunteers.
Andrew drove our bus over to the Morgan House in Dublin. This is about an hour and a half drive.
The Morgan House is a large multi room building. The original log cabin can be seen in the second photo.
Our group first shopped through the gift shops. These were situated in several rooms of the building and provided a wide variety of goods.
Of course, many of the guys were really just interested in eating the food. As I've heard elsewhere, if your going to make food, make it good! And the Morgan House serves GOOD FOOD!
One or our thoughts for doing this little trip was to see if it was appropriate for a Day Trip for our Young@Heart group. Because of the good number of steps between rooms and the dining rooms, we decided against this. However, I would certainly recommend this for ladies and couples, who are up to a few steps. Check out their website for further information. Morgan House
