So much of West Virginia looks like this. Tours like this will continue to motivate me into completing my own step back into history...only here in Maine. Old farm history is the best and yours is truly a work of its own. I can't wait to see the next tour. Thank you so much for this tour of history. So much of West Virginia looks like this.

So many neat things for a kid to explore and an attic full of old things to play with. It backed onto a property that an uncle and my grandfather owned so you could walk all the back and forth. It's all gone now for subdivisions since the city has grown so much over the years. I do have such fond memories of it though.

My grandparents did live on a farm but it was rented and torn down long ago. My mom tells me stories though. And you most definitely have the bestest porch :mrgreen: Oh a secret ??: This is all so very fascinating to someone who lives in the boring suburbs.

There are a few more things I'm planning with the Old Farmhouse Tour, and I've also got another, brand new tour series planned--coming soon!

So much of our past is lost to "new and improved" which is neither..
