The Higgins House Makes its Film Debut
We were extremely honored to have a movie filmed in our B&B (and home) during the first couple of weeks we moved into the place in August. It was a great time and a very memorable moment that we will treasure forever. Thanks to the crew and director of "Charmed" we can now officially say that the Higgins House has made true film debut.
A Higgins House Poem by Kaley DellaSala - The previous owners of the Higgins House beautiful daughter Kaley wrote a poem about their Bed and Breakfast. She entered this poem in her 4th grade class and out of all the students, she took first place. We thought we'd share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
