Mary Breckinridge's Wendover

09/02/2026

It was a great privilege to welcome Liz Kaiser back home to Wendover this afternoon. Liz worked as a Frontier nurse at the Flat Creek Clinic 55 years ago. She was accompanied by fellow healthcare workers Sue Ann Crosby & Beverly Emonds. These three ladies took a tour of our facilities and walked around the old hospital up on the hill. It was so wonderful to hear Liz's stories and share all that we've been doing. Thank you ladies for the visit. We'll see you back real soon!

A Labor of Love for Wendover ❤️

Wendover is so much more than a collection of beautiful old buildings. It is a place filled with history, memories, and the remarkable legacy of Mary Breckinridge. It belongs to the story of our mountains and those of us who care for it love this place deeply.

That love is what keeps us going, but caring for a historic property comes with constant expenses. Along with major preservation needs, there are countless everyday items required for cleaning, maintenance, tours, community events, and educational programs. Those smaller expenses add up quickly.

We have created an Amazon Wish List as a simple way for those who love Wendover to help. Every item purchased takes one expense off our shoulders and allows us to put more of our limited resources toward preserving this treasured place.

🛒 Our Amazon Wish List:

If Wendover holds a special place in your heart, please consider purchasing an item or sharing our list. Every gift is a reminder that we are not caring for Wendover alone.

Thank you for believing in this place, loving it alongside us, and helping preserve it for generations yet to come. ❤️

🎄 Christmas Tree Workshop Reminder!

The deadline to sign up for our Vintage Ceramic Christmas Tree Workshop is October 16!

We need everyone registered by then so our workshop team has plenty of time to prepare and order the molds. The class is limited to 20 participants!

🎨 You’ll paint and personalize your own 14 inch ceramic Christmas tree during the workshop. Choose white or green, flocking can be added to either if you choose and each tree comes with a multicolored light kit. Examples shown are trees from the studio prior to light kit installation.

After painting, the trees will be taken back to the studio to be professionally fired. We’ll have a pickup day around Thanksgiving, so you’ll have your finished tree in plenty of time for Christmas decorating! 🎄✨

💲 $50 per tree

Create a Christmas keepsake you’ll enjoy bringing out year after year. ❤️

Sign-up deadline: October 16!
