Open House Info:

From Trumansburg, turn onto Route 227 (beside the post office) and go 1/2 mile. Turn Right onto Searsburg Rd. (Schuyler County Rt. #1), and go 1 1/4 miles. House is on the right just after Mount Road. Look for "Tugley Wood Timberframing" sign. (Note: we are the 1st house in Schuyler County, so our house #6301 won't match the ones you'll be passing.)
