I love our front porch at our family farm, including the view of a sprawling lawn, the flowering landscape and what seems like an ever-present cool breeze.
Opened in 1887, the Grand Hotel, with Post-Tribune columnist Philip Potempa in the front lawn where croquet is a favorite activity, has remained an escape summer resort destination for more than a century. I love our front porch at our family farm, including the view of a sprawling lawn, the flowering landscape, and what seems like an ever-present cool breeze.
Opened in 1887, the Grand Hotel was been owned and operated by the Musser Family, starting in 1933 through three generations carrying on the tradition started by the original visionary owner W. Stewart Woodfill. It was last year when this five-year expansive project launched to restore the façade, which includes the porch, its 52 original wood columns, wood flag poles, the siding, windows and Juliet balconies. The Grand Hotel restoration is partially funded by a Historic Preservation Fund created with the support of a minimal 1.887 % charge included on select purchases for hotel guests. Remarkably, the porch renovation can’t be spotted by guests and poses no disruption to the day-to-day activities.
A favorite feasting feature for guests at the Grand Hotel is to start the day in the elegant main dining room to load up on the energy needed to explore the grounds and the island.
