๐ Would you believe this 1800s diary was nearly thrown out with the trash?
We were unpacking boxes in a dusty old attic when we found itโwrapped in brown paper, wedged between books no one had opened in 50+ years.
๐ Inside: a Civil War-era family diary with handwritten stories, letters, and even a pressed flower still intact.
The family had no idea it existed. One member said: โItโs like meeting my great-great-grandfather for the first time.โ
โจ We didnโt just find paperโwe found legacy.
