The Calhoun Historical Society had an open house Sunday at the Grantsville Stump Hotel, featuring Miss Nettie Stumps Parlor. Nettie was a poet, writer, painter and dreamer.

The society, with a handful of volunteers and few financial resources, has meticulously furnished the first floor with period pieces representing the life and times of the hotel, the early Stump family and two of their best known residents in the 20th Century, Nettie and Spavy Stump.

The display is a dramatic walk back in time.
