Re-membering our family one story at a time.
Ridge Haven is a state of mind. Not a place. And yet, it is a place also. If we climb to the top of the mountain ridge, we will see all the separate things we’ve encountered along the way as one great landscape. One Great Story. In this way, our family story is our story. When we re-member our family, we re-member ourselves into this great landscape. Through the careful collection and curation of our family history, artifacts, stories, and genealogy, Ridge Haven represents the ever-onward ascent toward beholding the Truth of who we are.
