Aunt Twila, a remarkable woman, was a polio survivor. Despite her handicap, she became an avid fisherwoman and skilled upholstery worker, embodying resilience and determination. She was a woman ahead of her time, and her spirit of entrepreneurialism and hard work influenced the following generations. Under her matriarchal guidance, the building became a symbol of these values and the continuity of care and dedication by the women in the family.

 

Today, the building has been thoughtfully remodeled and refurbished to welcome travelers, blending its historical essence with modern refinements. It stands as a testament to the industrious spirit and rich history of the Snyder family.

 

Among the treasured memorabilia is a photograph of Aunt Twila in her jodhpurs, proudly displaying trout in front of her 1938 Ford, immortalizing her adventurous spirit and love for fishing. This cherished photo hangs on the entry-level wall, serving as a favorite and enduring reminder of Twila’s legacy and the vibrant history of The Twila.
