Thanks Ken. There was a lot happening in Athens during the 1850's and that is why I decided to use this locale as a back story to my Village Green display. It was a new hub for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (formerly the Marrietta & Cincinnati RR), a known Underground Railroad Station, the home to the newly established Ohio University, and much more. I think I'll have a lot of fun creating this one.Excellent Mike…I can’t wait to see your progress Mike. Ericka and I were recently through Athens as it isn’t very far from here and one of our friends lives there, so this will be fun to see!
THX ChrisGreat looking bldg Mike. Fine addition to your collection.
Thank you very much Mark. I want to collect at least 3 more figure sets; Virgil Caine chopping wood (hired hand), Vivian with clean laundry (hired laundress), and Amy feeding chickens as the youngest Johnson daughter. Also plan on a picket fence around house yard, corn, and snake rail fencing for corn field.Mike,
The whole scene looks great. You positioned the figures to tell a perfect story.
Now if Ken would only do more AWI civilians so I could make a simliar scene.
Look forward to it mate, that is a great piece.The 19th Century One Story Clapboard House that I ordered from WB, handmade and painted by Ken and Erica Osen & staff was delivered this evening. Well worth the wait. It is well detailed and came with glazed windows, a Certificate, Historical background information, as well as a cast iron stove. This will be perfect for my plans to make a mid 19th century homestead in southern Ohio circa October 1860 just before the Presidential election and of course the American Civil War. My plan is to make a 2-foot x 3-foot display of the Charles Johnson family homestead located east of Athens, Ohio and west of Warren's Station, Ohio on the road which is now US Route 50. I imagined this story line because I lived in Athens for several years and am familiar with it's history. I will be posting the progress on a separate thread here once I begin this winter project.

Thanks MikeBeautiful piece, I can’t wait to see what you do with this
Thank you Wayne. It's hard to beat a Hudson & Allen building.Look forward to it mate, that is a great piece.
Thank you Steve. My biggest challenge will be where to display it. I really need to downsize some of my collection to make room for new interests.Mike,
A wonderful house to begin your diorama.

I'm going to take this slowly and try to make it a full winter project.Cant wait to see it all come together
