Wonderful old homes. We hope to return soon to see more of the fantastic homes here. The streets were so crowed with cars it was difficult to get around.

Lots and lots of pottery...
Mums...
Caners. I believe she said she would charge $25 a square...

The courthouse, my camera didn't do very well here for some reason, only 1 other pic turned out
The courtroom. There was also a fireplace in the back and the judge's chambers. Men must have been super tiny back then. A small twin size bed and a chair with a small desk inhabited his area. Ink wells and quills to write your name. A seal to seal the deal...
Where the water runs on a rainy day...
A broom-making demonstration...
An arrowhead demonstration...
Making homemade paper. This lady was awful kind to tell us all about it. The official papermaker went to get something to eat so she explained the steps to creating the sheets of paper. You can see them hanging to dry on the dryer behind her. 50 cents a sheet.
