Our Most Recent Event: Kathryn Kirk "Homecoming"
July 20 - 24, 2010

Kathryn Kirk (and two friends, Dee Smith and Marie Madinger -all from Missouri) returned for another visit this week. A soiree was held in her honor on July 22. A silent auction was included to help raise funds to build a future Praise Chapel on the estate in Kathryn's honor.
During the party, Kathryn formally presented the Whites with the Civil War-era dining room table and chairs that belonged to the home's original owners, Dr. John & Caroline Kirk, Kathryn's great, great grandparents. She also presented the original portraits of Dr. & Mrs. Conner, parents of the wife of Willy Kirk (son of Dr. & Mrs. John & Caroline Kirk)

The Kirk's Return Home Visit
May 21-26, 2009
Memorial Day weekend was very special this year at Rose Hill Plantation House. My Kirk family came home again! This time Bill Kirk (great great grandson of Dr. John and Caroline Kirk) brought his wife Jody and son Jarrett with him. Jarrett has just graduated from high school and this was the main purpose of the trip - to show Jarrett his ancestral grounds and to teach him about his roots. No celebrations and dedications this time. Bill had requested a private and quiet visit and introduction for Jarrett this year, so that is what happened.
