Order your own copy of our book, Hardin House: The First Seventy-Five Years. We began our 75th year of business with a gathering of old and new friends, residents, and staff at our reunion celebration. How wonderful it was to converse with such a broad community of people, all with one thread in common: Hardin House. If you were not able to attend the event, we would like to offer you the opportunity to look through the highlights of our last 75 years in one book, the recently published Hardin House: The First Seventy-Five Years. It includes photos (old, new and recreated) and remembrances of costume parties, poolside lounging and adventures from kittens and Christmas to bike riding and the petition for "No more skirts!" We hope you enjoy looking through this historical gem as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you! Please use this form to order your own personal copy, whether you were a resident, have a daughter or granddaughter who was or will be, or if you're just interested in our story. You just might find yourself inside!
