This was Alexander and Mabel's property. It overlooks the section of the lake where he would try out his hydrofoil experiments and where he set a speed record moving across the water.

He also invented the air conditioner; the kite; the graphaphone. He also worked with deaf children and taught them a way to read and speak using his father's invention and started schools for the deaf and trained teachers to use his method..... then in his spare time he founded the National Geographic Society.

There is a museum in the town with all the artifacts being donated by his grand children, some of who still live on the property. Alex told them that they could all build houses on the property and live there forever, as long as they didn't build mansions.
