I went to dinner at a historical inn in Lebanon, Ohio called The Golden Lamb. A bad storm blew in and we had to stay after dinner until it was safe to leave. We decided to do a tour of all the rooms upstairs where many notable people have stayed, several presidents, Harriet Beatrice Stowe, and Charles Dickens to name a few. I was looking at some pictures and there was a print, think Holiday Inn art, of the Earl of Derby during a horse race! I had to LOL since I loved that castle and all the history of the horses and Derby. I live in Cincinnati, so the Kentucky Derby is a big thing around here! I told my family all about Mapperton and how fascinating your tours of the castles etc. are and how addicted I am to it! I just thought it was such a hoot that I had gotten your notification of this chat! I hope to join live, but will watch the video if I don't. Unfortunately, my phone had died or I would have gotten a picture...next time I am there I will!
