Behind the white-trimmed gray house on Hay Street, Katy Stevick has found history, a way to share her love of downtown Fayetteville and a way to plug into the community.
Originally from Fredericksburg, Texas, Stevick moved to Fayetteville about eight years ago with her husband, who is a soldier at Fort Bragg.
She’s used to seeing more than 500 bed and breakfasts in her hometown a historic destination town founded by German settlers in Texas’ Hill Country.
But Stevick originally expected she’d move every couple of years and adapt to new communities when her husband received new duty assignments.

ESSAY
Author William Sharp, left, wrote under the pen name Fiona MacLeod. Lady Augusta Gregory wrote versions of Celtic stories akin to those of WB Yeats BY some accounts, 19th-century Gaelic poetry is less impressive than that of the preceding century, yet on the evidence of Donald E Meek’s anthology of poems from that era, Caran an t-Saoghail/The Wiles of the World, it is rich and intricately connected with the processes of industrialisation, colonialism and imperial expansion, and thus also with what was happening in contemporary Scottish literature in English and Scots. Gaelic is essential to the national story.
