Lovely Grandparents Had No Room—So They Dug a Home Into the Hill for Their Orphaned Grandchildren
Near Copper Creek, Colorado, in the late spring of 1888, retired miner Josiah Baird and his wife Evelyn open their tiny one-room cabin to two grandchildren who suddenly have nowhere else to go. But love alone cannot make a cramped cabin large enough for four, and the old couple soon faces a painful problem: how to give children safety, comfort, and room to be young again. Drawing on the mining skills of his past, Josiah begins cutting into the hillside behind their home, shaping a timber-braced underground children’s room with bunks, warm lamplight, and winding little tunnels. What emerges is more than an addition to the cabin — it becomes the heart of a new family life, built by old hands for two children who need wonder as much as shelter.
