Welcome to the Early American room - an enchanting room with interesting antiques... some with a story to tell. For example, this inviting room has an 1800 rope bed with the holes for the ropes in it. The ropes crisscrossed the frame with a straw filled muslin bag on top and the ropes needed to be tightened to prevent the bed from sagging. Thus the phrase, "sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite."
