Flippin was an early day "gypo" logger and sawmill owner. His family lived in sawmill shacks, crude houses built of rough boards. They carried their water from the spring and chopped wood for the kitchen stove which also heated the shack. The Flippins prospered by dint of hard work and before long Tom decided to have a castle built. "A man's home is his castle, and so I built mine to look like one," said Tom.
The house has been restored as near as possible to its original state. Lunches are served at noon for a suggested donation of $2.50. Stop by, take the tour, have lunch with the seniors -- you will enjoy the visit.
