I found the story of the Sebring family and their town delightful. I appreciate these lovely dishes even more now for their history and for the people who made them and would like to visit Sebring where there is a museum about their dinnerware.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love books in this series.By Dr. FredAs a history buff I am always interested in books of this nature that cover an area where I have lived or where I have had family. Some of my mothers people lived in Sebring and this book brought back memories. Most of the buildings are gone now that I knew as a child when I visited the area. It still brings back pleasant memories of a beloved aunt and grandmother. The train station still stands where I had a grandfather who was a telegrapher for Western Union. Thought its station pictures are good. I suspect they would have loved to have had the use of one I have of the staff inside the station itself. This grandfather died before I was born. however his pictures and letters have kept him alive for me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great History of Sebring!By Jerome ClarkeMy great-grandfather was Ellsworth (E.H.) Sebring. but my father never told me much about his mothers family. What a joy it was to find this book. with its great history and many pictures! Im told that my father learned to play billards on the pool table in Ellsworths beautiful home. I enjoyed discovering a heritage that I didnt know I had. Although the city has changed since the peak of the pottery making days. I found it interesting to visit. and reading Mr. Baras book made it a lot more personal.
