Wilson Homestead
Old Books and Antiques

Wison Homestead opened in the fall of 2010. It is located on Chamberlin Mills Road in Hebron, in an 18th century English barn. The homestead was settled in 1772 by James and Martha (Hopkins) Wilson. Five Wilson generations occupied the farm for 218 years. In 1990, Sally and Joe Brillon became the second owners and began rehabilitating the house and eventually adapted three of the five barns for new uses.
The Brillons owned Towpath Antiques and Books in Fort Ann for thirty-four years and it will remain open to reduce inventory that is twice as large as the barn can house.
In Hebron they will carry a general line of antiques, especially early furniture and architectural parts. The specialty of the shop is "nonfiction books for the curious". Topics include New York and Vermont history, architecture, antiques, decorative and fine arts, textiles, women, cookbooks, gardening, nature, Native Americans, travel, biography, Black History and children's books.
Wilson Homestead also offers open hearth cooking classes in the old saltbox, center chimney house in March and November by advanced registration. Participants use the stone fireplace and bake-oven to prepare a complete mid-day meal. The price is $45.
Wilson Homestead is located 7 miles north of Salem, off NYS Rt. 22, 1/2 mile west on Chamberlin Mills Road. The shop is open Saturday and Sunday 11-5, May through November. We are also open by appointment all year.

GARDEN DESIGN
Nancy Hand Higby

Born and raised on a farm in Washington County, Nancy Hand Higby is a landscape architect who specializes in residential garden design. As the principal of the Dirt Divas, she works with a loose group of wonderful women (not to be confused with a wonderful group of loose women) who joyfully plant and maintain gardens. When not caring for gardens, designing gardens, and writing about gardens, she lives and laughs with her husband, David, in a meadow on the west slope of the Taconic foothills in the Battenkill watershed uplands. Nancy is strong, David is good looking, and their two grown children, Maggie and James, are perfect ~ well….above average ~ and are now exploring the great wide world.

Each of Nancy's unique garden designs reflects the client's vision, personality, heartfelt dreams, and sense of whimsy. In addition to residential design work, her current passions are historic garden restorations and kids' gardening programs.

Photos can be seen at: www.nancyhandhigby.com

A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley College of Environmental Design's School of Landscape Architecture, Nancy spent twenty years working with firms in New York, Boston, San Francisco and Philadelphia before returning to Washington County to raise her family. She has practiced large and small scale natural resource management, environmental planning, and landscape design in both rural and urban settings. The quiet winter months are the best time to prepare spring garden plans.

If you're considering a garden consultation, Nancy would be happy to hear from you. nhigby@verizon.net

McCartee's Barn

Antiques have been a lifelong passion for Sue Clary, who learned the business inside and out from her parents Marilyn and Don Chambers, former owners of O'Wagon Antiques in Greenwich, NY. She began as an ebay business selling antiques under the name salemgrayman. As her business grew, she was inspired to include a retail shop which could also highlight and support the incredible artistic community in which she lives. When contemplating a location for their shop, she looked no further than the Clary's backyard and a 200 year old barn that needed a lot of work. The restoration of the barn has been a labor of love, mainly by Sue's husband Bill Clary. Capturing the feel that Sue wanted for their shop, Bill was able to preserve the original characteristics of the barn while integrating modern touches throughout. Surrounding the barn is the work of Dan Chambers, who salvaged the original marble from the barn foundation and put it to use building patios, benches, and walls. The shop is located at 23 East Broadway in Salem, NY. The regular hours are 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. On September 11th we will host an OPEN HOUSE at 23 E Broadway titled "ORLYK, SWEETLAND and KESSLER" from 10 to 5. Brad Kessler will read from his book Goat Song at 2:00 and an artist reception will be at 3PM, and exhibition will be from September 11th to October 12. The event will parallel the Washington County Cheese Tour and Salem Chamber of Commerce Harvestfest, so come enjoy a great day in Salem, NY.

I am an
Anger management facilitator
And a Mediator  …….
And a  Listener
It is all about better choices
It is all about understanding why we behave the way we do
It is all about listening
It is all about making decisions
It is all about taking responsibility
It is all about not giving our power away
It is all about meeting those four needs (love, freedom, fun and power)
And it is all about our expectations…
And it is all about where we want to be and what we have to change to get there…

Can I help you?

My experience is:

1993 – 2002 – Great Meadow Correctional Facility/Maximum Security Prison, Comstock, NY
At the request of the prison the “Life Without Violence” program was instituted as the only nonviolent program offered in the prison for 9 years.  In 2002, New York State placed “ART”, a state run program, in place.  Our program was experiential and met once a month for a 3-day/18 hour program.  We instructed 40-45 prisoners per month in anger management and life skills emphasizing behavior control.

July 2003 to present – Once a week program at the Washington County Jail offered to prisoners to learn how to control their anger and understand their behavior better.

Qualifications beyond those 16 years of experience are college degree, master courses, mediation certificate from Albany Law School, restorative justice programs, reality therapy training……
