Finley Refuge

After a much-needed new roof and front porch rebuild, the house will be open again for visitors.  Don’t miss it!  Thanks to the Rathbun Family and the Benton County Historical Society, this 1855 pioneer home looks as if the family is just out gathering veggies in the garden before coming back home. 

It looks lived in.  Come see for yourself!
