    Just love how your husband's family came up with another plan, and survived after giving up thier heritage home. Maybe talk about resilience that helped them create a new life. I'm sure it wasn't easy.

    I’m a Bhakti yogi, and a nerd for British history. Rare to see these two worlds collide. It is so interesting to hear about Alberta’s interest in Bhakti yoga and Karma yoga 100 years ago when it was quite rare to have access to that philosophy here in the west. Love your channel ❤

    Such a sweet pair, you are. The love & resoect between you two is a delight. It's such a privilege to be able to see inside these stately homes, & to meet the huge personalities who run them. A renewed appreciation of the running costs, painstaking maintenance, repairs & reclamations done with such passion by you all is humbling, & a huge joy to see. Julie, you do look like an elegant princess in your gorgeous, tasteful outfits (& you even rock that painting overall).
    The renovation of the Archive Rrom is wonderful. It must be an inspiring & comfortable place to do your work. Best wishes to you all

    Julie ❤ have you researched your ancestry? Never know what you will find. My uncle found a Dutches in ours way back in 1500-1600’s before they pilgrimaged over to North America (Mothers side). The Dutches was buried in their local Church. I found that odd. I love that you have a rich archive of a family members life 100 years ago. What a treasure!

If they are willing, it would be nice to visit with some of your Mapperton Staff and get to know them a little i. e. Malcolm, Chris and all of the others that you talk with from time to time. Not just as it relates to Mapperton but what they like to do when they are not working, etc.

    Hi Julie, The Willard Asylum for the Insane opened in 1869, in 1890, it was renamed The Willard State Hospital and in 1974, The Willard Psychiatric Center operating until 1995.
    It was actually located in Ovid, NY, on Seneca Lake(one of NY’s Finger Lakes).
    In one of your Lives(which I watched late) you mentioned Alberta was in Geneva, NY, which is also on Seneca Lake. In that live you also mentioned she visited a “Normal School” and weren’t sure what that was…Normal Schools were teacher colleges and most went on to be part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system.
    Finally, Owego is pronounced O-WE-GO. :)

    Love this segment today. You touched on some information I was not aware about my beautiful State Capital of Texas. Did you know it IS the Tallest State Capital in the United States? Yes, it is.
    I am inquiring if you would consider doing a complete video tour of Mapperton starting at the entrance front door and taking it room by room, according to the layout. I have been trying to figure out the layout of your home every time I see the very beginning of your videos, which shows the overview of the entire castle. I am subscribed to ALL your channels and watch every video you post. The content is so exciting and I am learning so much. My lineage goes back to England, Ireland and Scotland from Both of my parents. Thank You Julie, your husband Luke and Everyone with Mapperton for your time and commitment. It is much appreciated.
    Much Love from Dallas Texas.
