Strains of hymns once echoed throughout the peaceful Pressmen’s Home Valley, but ancient and dust-covered pews, sagging floors and a leaky roof awaited visitors to Pressmen’s Home Chapel. When new owners took over the property in 1985, they hoped to restore the once beautiful chapel to the point where weddings and other services could be held again. kAm%@ 244@>A=:D9 E9:D EC6>6?5@FD E2D<[ E96 v@@5 }6HD r9FC49 |:?:DEC:6D DA@?D@C65 2 8@DA6= D:?8:?8 E@ C2:D6 7F?5D 7@C E96 C6DE@C2E:@?

In a quiet corner of small-town America, where the porch light is always on and the coffee pot is never empty, a husband and wife have turned their home into something extraordinary — a gateway to the world.
