Robert and Dotty Webber lived in a one-room log cabin without electricity or running water for over 50 years. Their lifestyle was simple and sacred, inspiring generations of families, friends, and colleagues. The purpose of Mountain Souls is to preserve and promote the legacy of the Webbers. The film shows viewers the benefits of a simple life, one that can be fully enjoyed, despite few material possessions. Robert and Dotty cherished the blessings of deep and lasting friendships, the joys of nature and living from the land, and the satisfaction of hard work. They were well-read and deeply devoted to God and their fellow man. The Webbers believed that it is the journey, not the destination, that brings true meaning and satisfaction to life. Stories of faith and friendship are central to this narrative, as well as details about the reconstruction of the Webber’s cabin at the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum near Galeton, PA. Visitors to the museum can witness first-hand the lifestyle of these modern-day pioneers. Mountain Souls also provides a glimpse into the history of the Pine Creek area, including the famous trails and vistas enjoyed by generations of hikers and outdoors-men. Proceeds from the documentary will be used to fund scholarships for young adults who are interested in Environmental Careers as well as fund forestry programs with the Tiadaghton State Forest.
