The Four Columns Inn is lovely. Though I only stayed there once, it was everything one imagines when you think of country inns. John Kenneth Galbreath was a frequent luncheon guest at the time. The Inn is on the green, behind the Town Hall.

The countryside is breathakingly beautiful...even in mud season, which is when I was there. My visit was to see a dying relative who was in the Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend -just north of Newfane. Grace Cottage Hospital consists of, I think, three 1800-era homes. I have never seen anything like it nor have I spent time in such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Everyone there made a bittersweet visit a sweet memory. I will always have a special place in my heart for them.
