We moved to Teena Hill 26 years ago. As a child, I dreamed of living on a farm with lots of animals roaming around. Quirky old houses with sections that had been added on through the years have always appealed to me. So, December 15, 1983, we moved to Teena Hill.
As our friends came to see what we had done, they commented when leaving, "Well, I'm glad it's you and not me." Our house is a restored log cabin built in the 1860's, and has, as far as we can tell, three additions. I was not afraid of the obvious work to be done or the probably around $5,000 we would need to "fix it up". Hah!
The reason our place is called Teena Hill is that after the Civil War, the cabin was built for Miss Teena Wallace. She was well known in the community, at that time, for her medicinal herbs, her flowers, as well as her vegetable gardens. She lived on the property until she died in the early 1900's.
