Up the river and through the woods to Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmothers house we went on the day after Thanksgiving. Great Grandmother Martha Roberts Embry’s first cousin, Alice Bondurant Scott, invited us to their “Cousin’s Day” celebration held at the family’s ancestral home-place near Brandenburg, Kentucky. Woodspoint Wilderness consists of land that was owned by the Dow family in the 1800's. After the turn of the century, the land was sold out of the family; then in 1960, Jack and Alice Scott bought the land and began to lay the groundwork for the present nature refuge and retreat center. Our party of eight joined over 20 other relatives in a beautiful rustic cabin sitting high on the cliffs above the Ohio River for fellowship and family stories. After lunch, a large group hiked downhill through the woods to visit the family’s old cabin site built more than 150 years ago.
