 We visit Körner’s Folly or the "Folly" as it is referred to by locals.   It is the architectural wonder and home of artist and designer Jule Gilmer Körner.

Visitors can now explore the 22 room house museum and its unique original furnishings and artwork, cast-plaster details, carved woodwork, and elaborate hand laid tile.
