We felt so blessed to be able to visit the historical home of Ellen G White, one of the founders of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. She purchased the home in 1900 and lived in that very peaceful home until her death in 1915. The home was actually built in 1885 and was known as Elmshaven since 1900.
We're almost there!

It was a wonderful, very touching experience visiting this historical home. I could not explain the strange feeling that enveloped me while I listen to our tour guide as we go around the home of Mrs. White.- - telling us every detail of the lives of the White family in that very peaceful home.
