HISTORY OF THE TREEHOUSE.

I found this quote I wanted to share from 'Amazon Trees'. I feel it sums up a short history of the tree house and shows the change of what Treehouse's were used for to their meaning in modern day ...

"Tree houses have been with us for many hundreds of years, since they were used as primitive homes. Basic survival was top of the list and there was no safer place to shelter than high up in the treetops. Now that survival is no longer a basic requirement, the Treehouse has become a source of escapism and adventure. It answers our need for peace and tranquillity, and allows us the luxury of being immersed in the wonderful world of nature."
