Karen planned on returning to her hometown of Madison after spending over 20 years in the St. Louis metrolpolitan area. As she researched homes for sale, she found and fell in love with the Hendricks-Beall home.

Karen enjoys baking and gardening. She relaxes by playing the piano and flute for guests, having played in numerous concerts in the St. Louis area.

Prior to returning to Madison, Karen wrote, designed and published a photo-filled history book, including the history of St. Louis, which showcased some of her photography (as well as her father's). She is currently working on a book describing the rich history of the Hendricks-Beall Home.

The B&B officially opened in October 2006, and Karen took over its ownership in September 2008. She is thrilled to welcome guests from all over the country who also share a love for this beautiful home.

Whether for business or pleasure, you are invited to come and experience the lovely community of Madison, Indiana, and visit Karen at her gorgeous historical home located just blocks from downtown.
