The Hori Bathhouse and Neely Mansion: 5 families stories of farming in Washington

In the sixth episode of season 3, Kendra brings you to Neely Mansion in Auburn, Washington. The property was built by the Neely's: a pioneer family, but it was home to tenant farming families from the early 1900s to the 1980s. Behind the house is a Japanese Bath House built by the Hori Family and further back a tool shed used by the Acosta family. We had the pleasure of talking with Julie Acosta who grew up on this farm and worked with her parents here.

This story wouldn't be possible without the work of the volunteers who saved this house from an uncertain future in 1983. We speak to some of the many women who saved it throughout our visit at Neely Mansion. Thank you to Linda, Carol, Karen, and Julie for talking with us.
