A History of Sandscrest with Nora Edinger and Cheryl Harshman

July 22, 2025
12:00pm - 1:00pm

The story of how 300 or so acres of the Ohio Valley came to be an Episcopal retreat center called Sandscrest might best be described as a set of nesting dolls. In some ways, each new era was informed by the previous one. But, each of these times was also fashioned in a way that left the past hidden from sight except for a common shape. This shape seems to be the land itself – ancient forest; a life-sustaining river; energy buried in various, knotted-up forms. It’s there -- an ongoing-if-whispered suggestion that opportunity is ripe for the picking.
