Thanks hennie pennie. Other attempts at this kind of thing have gone on in Europe and the Americas (and probably other places) ever since the Middle Ages transitioned into the Renaissance -- via the Black Death and other fun times.

In Michigan, near Charlevoix, the Loeb farm was an example; in the 1960s a guy named Van Haver bought the mostly derelict property and tried to turn it into a tourist attraction. He also try to sell his own paintings there, if memory serves. He ran out of money, it lasted maybe a couple of years. Then around 1980 someone had the great idea of using the place as a concert venue called Castle Farms. That lasted a few years. Last I knew it was a private residence, some of the original stone buildings had been demolished, and the owners were trying to make it into a wedding rental -- get married and have the reception right in a castle.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
