Library

The library is a very inviting room with it's deep-toned wood furniture and rich array of oriental rugs. The distinguished portrait, hanging above the Heppplewhite bow-front chest, is of Josiah Colony, Horatio Colony's great grandfather and co-founder of the Colony Faulkner woolen mill. The mill was founded in 1815 and became the second longest running mill in the country.

Along side the Delph tiled fireplace stands a wooden cigar store Indian. This Indian was the inspiration for Mr.Colony's novel Free Forester, which depicts frontier life in Kentucky in the early 1800's.
A large glass door bookcase is the focal point of the library, giving it a scholarly air.
