Wine Cellar Gets Some Attention
The Wine Cellar on our site is one of the few remaining original traces of the historic village of Azilum. Wine Cellars were built beneath residents' dining halls, which were separate from the main house, and which were connected to the cook house/kitchen by a covered walkway.
The Wine Cellar, which was excavated in previous decades, likely belonged to one of the houses owned by Mme. de Seybert, on whose property much of the present day historic site stands. Mme. de Seybert had extensive plots of land, as well as a mill.
Board Member Todd Carr took the initiative recently, as well as his weed whacker, rake and clippers, and began what is sure to be a lengthy job of cutting back and removing the weeds and invasives which have grown up inside the Wine Cellar.
We are grateful for Todd's enthusiasm and dedication!
