Susan Long interview for WCYB-TV Channel 5

On Sept.20,2008, there was an Open House at the E.W. King House designed to raise funds for the restoration of the house as a local museum.The Bristol Historical Association also conducted an antique sale of donated items. Local author & historian Bud Phillips was also on hand for a book signing. Live music was performed by Hart Creek and Slim Pickins...and a fun time was had by all.

I have posted a few pix of the interior of the house and after viewing I am sure you will agree the house is well worth the restoration efforts.
