The Women of Moss Point
Did you hear the historic Moss Point home sold the other day? I know it’s an incredible site, but $20 million seems a lot of money for an old house, even in Laguna. Which, of course, leads to a story.
Lulu V. Goff, from the Goff family of early coastal homesteaders, was the first owner of the land around Moss Point. She completed a 132-acre homestead in 1891, which, doing the math, means she started her five-year improvement period when she was just seventeen. Maybe she got the idea from her father Hub Goff, who Joe Thurston thought, “The brains of the Goff brothers.” Anyway, per the research of our late Beryl Wilson Viebeck, Lulu did it.
