Emily grew up in Mount Vernon and met her husband, Josh, at Wheaton College outside Chicago. Since Josh is originally from Florida, we spend part of our time there and are happy to share our home with guests while we're away.
What makes this property unique
Mount Vernon is a special place to me, as my family has deep roots here on both sides. Many of my ancestors are from Mount Vernon, making me an eighth-generation local on my mom’s side and fourth-generation on my dad’s.
As a fun detail, the name “Hillview” comes from my grandparents’ farm (see if you can find the hand painted plate depicting the farm during your stay!).
Unique Facts: -the house was built in 1900 -the plant hanger in the living room is an antique mule muzzle -the cuckoo clock in the living room was brought back from Germany by Josh‘s grandmother -the horse bookends on the entertainment center were inherited from Emily‘s great-grandfather -on the plate rack in the dining room there is a hand painted plate of Emily’s grandparents’ farm (Hillview) -on the plate rack in the dining room is a stamp of the house that was given to Emily and Josh upon purchasing the home -the doors used for the headboard of the guest room are the doors from the United Methodist Church uptown where Josh and Emily and seven other family members over six generations were married -peruse the book in the living room if you’re interested in learning more of Emily‘s Mount Vernon roots
