A house of history

EPHRATA - While others were enjoying the Ephrata Chamber of Commerce's Car Show & Shine - Anything With Wheels event last Saturday, others chose another place by the courthouse to visit - the Nat Washington House. Visitors enjoyed a chance to learn about the house's history and connection to the nation's first president, George Washington. Interesting tidbits included what happened to George Washington's first coffin and how the Nat Washington house came to be.
