The best stories in Medina County!
Blake
House Publishing, LLC
Blake House Publishing, LLC, was founded in early 2017 by
Amy Barnes as the parent company for “Joy of Medina County Magazine” and other
future publications.
The name of the company is derived from the Col. H.G. Blake
House, a home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is
located in Medina County and owned by Barnes.
Once an Underground Railroad Station operated by Blake, the
house has a long history of being home to those who dare go against the
dictates of society, who guard freedom and democracy, who have a fierce spirit
of independence, and who wholeheartedly give back to the community.
The house seemed the perfect namesake for the parent company of a family of publications that will become known for standing apart from the crowd, for a dedication to truth and journalism, and for always championing those who need a voice.
