Well, there is a little more than that. But not much. The County Courthouse is here too, which is one room. “Two”, says Aunt Jayne, “Don’t forget the bathroom.” There’s a few blocks of houses, mostly old, but this is the oldest. And then the road runs out of town. Aunt Jayne loves it here. So do I. I’m a bit of a geek. I know that. I love to read and work on history projects. I make up my own projects. That’s why I love it so much here. This little town is packed full of Civil War history. I have bullets and arrowheads that I find around here. And old glass bottles. Once I found a whole china dish. Just buried there under the dirt. It was just luck I found it. I tossed a pebble and heard it clink. Aunt Jayne had a matching one in the case.
