Small Town, Fun Story

In Saving the Hansen House, the McIntyres' skill, experience and production values make a small town story come alive.

Bethania, from personal experience, is a delightful town with interesting characters determined to hold on to their piece of history. It resists being absorbed into Winston-Salem in spite of being surrounded by the much bigger town.

The story of a retiring professor saving a very old house with the help of an occasionally odd group of professional tradesmen fits the area's evolving diversity without losing touch with its past. The balance of history, renovation, human interest and that wonderful little dog made it a favorite.
