Judge Lewis was one of the founding fathers of our community and was the Supervisor for the building of our beautiful court house.This property was also home to his Nursery where he sold Pine and fruit trees. He called his property Fairmont! We encourage you to come visit and check out this beautiful old home and enjoy all of the charm of yesteryear!
