Happy soon to be Fourth of July!
Come join us for our gathering on our porch to eat dinner and then watch the
fireworks, stars, and enjoy each other’s company for the fourth! Today I’d like to
talk about the photo collection we have in both the dining room and on the sun
porch. The labeling for all the photographs has been completed as well as the
photo albums found in the lobby that give more detailed information. Each
photograph, like each key, has its very own story which both Matt and I are
happy to share.
One of my favorite photos is the one of Chuck Malone, the
Baldpate Inn wrangler. The photograph shows Malone sitting in front of the
Baldpate Inn with a Cheshire grin, harp and turban. A very eccentric man, he not only carved his
name into the mantle of the Wrangler cabin’s fireplace, but was rumored to have
ridden his horse into the dinning room. 
A
living firecracker, Malone turned the Baldpate Inn into a wondrous place of
adventure, and excitement, which we hope to reproduce for our Fourth of July
celebration!
Your Friendly Curator,
Isabella Vinsonhaler
