Wallace House grounds getting new look and upgrade…

Erik Lowes and one of his employees are upgrading the landscaping at Wallace House.

Saturday found a new beautification project underway in the historic uptown district. Erik Lowes of Lowes Landscaping and his helper were busy digging out old plants and  planting new. The owners of the 18oos Wallace House have commissioned Lowes to upgrade the historic home’s landscaping, create a seating area, and enhance the area under the nearby Truman Mural.

There will be a seating area among the roses and a row of plants underneath the mural.

The work was just starting along Route 66 on Saturday, and we will let you know how it progresses. Wallace House has a rich history and can be rented for private events. It is owned by three couples, and we salute their efforts to preserve and enhance this local treasure.

We will keep you posted on this beautification project and the history of Wallace House.
