ABOUT OUR HOME

The heart of our home, the living room, was built in 1732 and served as a blacksmith shop for many years. Later, the forge was removed and a large granite fireplace was built by an American Indian stonemason. The original wood ceiling, hand hewn beams and granite walls remain today.  Initially the property was called "The Perry Plantation" and yes, they had two slaves who lived above the blacksmith shop. Over the generations, rooms were added to the smithy and some 60 years ago this building was used as a restaurant and was called "The Cookie Jar"; hence our name. Only 3 acres remain of the original plantation. On the property, we have 2 homes, a barn, aswimming pool, 50 plus fruit trees, grape vines, berry bushes, a flower garden and an acre of grass. A perfect environment for rest and relaxation.
