Limestone House was originally built in 1922 to house a family of five. It had two rooms and an external cold room, all built from white limestone found on the Elizabeth Hill farm. The Galloway family lived there from 1922 to 1928. In the last 100 years, this little house has been home to a few families, farmers and a even some goats! Since then, it has been thoughtfully restored. This little house has built character over the years and you will feel like you have taken a trip to the past when you spend time here.We do not have electricity at Limestone House, so come wi
