and do u know the old road is still here covered with sod coming from river. Horses uncovered it yrs ago on a frosty morn kicking heels up. Also uncovered an old .32 boot pistol that had been buried. Cocked and locked up. Those 2 rocks in pic are still here. We call them turtle rock. These illustrations were yesteryears photo's not surprised they are on spot. The boot pistol would be an awesome find!

I didnt have the heart to tear it down as the rafters are quartered logs. There is a cemetary above my house on the hill and 3 of the previous owners here are buried there. 2 of them are looking down on this place. This farm was divided up and they gave 5 acres for the cemetary also. The original owner came from Virginia. Many were escaping british. Many of the graves here are from 1700 era

Purty cool. Just last week, I went by my great aunts house" small town" I spent many hours there as a young kid. She died about 30 years ago. The house is now a dilapidated wreak and trees have taken over. She was meticulous about keeping her yard immaculate. Heck, it took be a bit to realized I was even looking at the same spot I spent many times as a little kid..
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

WRR, thanks for sharing. I love walking around the local cemeteries. I also have one about 200 yards from the house with civil war heros. Fascinating to read the stones and decipher the past
