Fall has Fallen at the Sweet Springs Resort Park and I hope this message finds everyone well. I wanted to provide you with an update on the recent developments at the Historic Sweet Springs Resort Park Foundation Inc. and share some exciting upcoming events.
As you may know, since the passing of my Uncle Ashby Berkley, who was both a father figure and a friend to me, my life has changed significantly. Despite the challenges I am facing, I am reminded of Ashby’s vision for this project. It was his lifelong dream to see Sweet Springs restored, and I am committed to continuing this work as he would have wanted.
We are making tangible progress. We have ordered historic signs for each of the National Landmark buildings, which will enhance the self-guided tour around the property. These signs will provide the names of the buildings along with brief historical insights, improving the visitor experience and adding a level of professionalism to the site.
Additionally, we have commenced clearing scrub along the driveway, around the trees, and in the gate areas to enhance the overall appearance of the grounds. In the coming days, we will install a rope fence around the front yard to match the fencing at the main gate, contributing to a clean and inviting look.
