Some UPDATES that I think are important. FIRST.....Horace Burgess, who built the treehouse is NOT DEAD. He was there when I visited and we had a long, friendly chat. The man is very kind and his stories are fascinating. Considering the structure has been exposed to weather for many years it seemed solid, safe and well constructed....although the floors do slope and slant in different areas.
Horace talked about the difficulty in keeping vandals out and maintaining the structure. Therefore, it was a bit messy in some areas.
The gate is usually open every day and it is OK to enter the area...Posted Signs are there to remove liability as people are entering at their own risk. But, if you are in the area....GO SEE IT and if you are lucky, you may just get to chat with Horace. [Loretta, 11/19/2008]
Climbing to the top is not for the timid. It's built with scrap wood.
The minister is apparently dead now, but his legacy lives on. [Terry, 09/06/2008]
