Charla Kusilek is celebrating over 100 years of her family's home. Although, the heart beat of the home is from her grandparents. Many years ago the house was known having a botanical garden since her family members were gifted horticulturalists. Sometimes, they would invite the community members to a picnic on their spacious lawn and it would be considered the first park in River Falls, WI.

Today Charla Kusilek is proud to continue the legacy with her family owning the house for 136 years. It's changed over the years, but she was happy to inherit the home of memories.
