The scout learned about the house's history, listened to an historic recording on the house's old 1924 Victrola before they left.

"I have a record player at home but not that old," said Luke.

Throughout the day more couples came in to learn about the history of the house and family while outside caterers were setting up the grounds for a wedding.
