Past Preservation

First, a chapter to America's history is written in Gale Garrett's Columbia, S.C., cottage describing a firsthand account of life during the Civil War. Next, an 1891 Victorian home lifts its glass once again as the toast of the town for homeowner Gary Smith of Penn Yan, N.Y. Then, Karen and Jim Weir learn where there's a Weir, there's a way to preserve the past after they inherit their 1890s Queen Anne farmhouse in Gastonburg, Ala.
