They have a dairy farm where cows are milked at 5 am and 5 pm, a jelly and fruitcake kitchen (fruitcake was actually very yummy!) that ships much of its products, and the typical education buildings. We came away very impressed.
Campus Chapel built in 1956 in the Gothic style - by students!
Gorgeous stained glass windows!
The chapel is open for anyone to enter, pray, worship. Rich played the piano.
We then drove down to Arkansas, taking backroads in the Ozarks. Gorgeous! We saw three deer jump across the road, right in front of us.
Loved this covered bridge over the Crooked Creek Crossing.
An evening show to see Clint Black at the Andy Williams Moon River Theater and then one of our favorite groups, Pierce Arrow and we went home very rested and happy. Truly a great little get-away!
We ate at that school too! JBU in their beginning years also had their students work for their tuition. Which roads did you take to Arkansas?
ReplyDeleteMy dad went to this school during the Depression. It saved his life. He wrote a book about it. The President asked him to speak there this year but he didn't want to go. He is 84 now. Its an amazing place and there work/ study approach a model for other schools.
