The Space:
The Ledford house was first built in the early 1900’s. No one seems to know who built it originally. In addition to being a kindergarten upstairs, rumor has it that a man by the name of Elvis Presley once stopped by to get his record played while it was an old radio station down stairs.
The home’s beautiful original wood work you see scattered around the house today would be covered by numerous owners before it was purchased by Bobby Ledford in 1978. Bobby Ledford was a budding barber and proud US Navy veteran. He once offered 100’s of free hair cuts to men and women serving in our military. High and tight was his specialty. He along with his wife Laurice and sister in law Karen Williams made “The Barbershop” a place of love, laughter, and excellent story telling for over 40 years in this community. Bobby and Laurice’s daughters, Tonya and Linzie along with Karen and Kenneth’s children, Kyle and Kadie considered this a second home spending hours after school visiting with clients and doing homework . During the covid era, Bobby passed away and Karen experienced loss of eyesight closing the doors to all of its clients and devastating the community that loved them so deeply. It was during that time of despair that Linzie had a dream like a message from heaven . The Barbershop should not be sold but instead be renewed and continue in the family for generations to come! In the summer of 2022 “The Barbershop“ was purchased by Linzie and Jeremy Hebert. The idea would be to create an Airbnb for other families like their own to celebrate life and be together in a home away from home.
On January 4, 2023 the entire family gathered to say good bye to the old, wrote scripture for the new walls, and prayed over what God had planned next. As the former walls came down in a true labor of love, incredible beauty was found beneath the surface. The brick arches, the easter egg colored shiplap wood, the old landing upstairs, and even the original door with its crystal knob beamed brightly like diamonds in the ruff just waiting to be rediscovered . While “The Barbershop” will always be what we call it, The Ledford House will serve as its new name and the beginning of a new era honoring the days past and rejoicing in the memories to come.
