I
visited
this
historic
site
yesterday
and
learned
about
one
of
the
most
important
men
in
our
nation's
history...and
I
had
never
heard
of
him!!!
Rufus
King
was
a
man
of
principles
and
integrity.
He
spoke
6
languages
and
amassed
a
personal
collection
of
more
books
than
the
Library
of
Congress
at
the
time.
And
he
was
a
staunch,
very
outspoken
advocate
against
slavery,
as
were
his
two
sons.
It
was
an
honor
to
visit
his
home
and
see
his
personal
desk,
as
well
as
some
of
his
own
books.
Many
interesting
artifacts
in
the
home.
There
is
no
charge
to
visit,
but
a
reservation
is
preferred
so
they
may
assure
a
guide
is
available.
Fox
and
Michael
were
our
guides.
There
were
only
two
of
us.
Both
gentlemen
were
a
wealth
of
knowledge.
Michael
was
able
to
answer
any
question
I
had.
So
impressive.
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
visit
because
I
do
think
they
need
our
support.
The
house
is
supposed
to
be
maintained
by
Parks
and
Rec,
but
they
haven't
done
a
very
good
job
and
there
are
many
needed
repairs.
We
were
told
that
both
the
Painters'
Union
and
the
Carpenters'
Union
have
stepped
up
to
help
out
pro
bono,
but
they
have
ongoing
needs.
Any
and
all
donations
are
so
appreciated.
My
tour
mate
and
I
both
made
a
donation
and
Michael
seemed
genuinely
thrilled.
Please
support
this
very
important
place
that
is
a
part
of
our
nation's
history.
