I have been told that the old orginal Rte 220 ran right here, through our property. You can still kind of see the definition of an old, used road. I like to walk along it and wonder about the people who travelled past my house.
I want to find out more about the old road, so a trip to the Botetourt Historical Society is in my near future.
I did visit the historical society a month or so ago to get information on our house and its inhabitants of the past. I'm looking forward to another visit :)
Hello Tanya !
ReplyDeleteVery surprizing this photo.... Where is the 220 road ???
Lovely scenery. Hope you find out what was going on around there.
ReplyDeleteWeb, the 220 now runs from North Carolina to Pennsylvania. Not sure where it went to when it was just a wagon trail through my yard :)
ReplyDeleteThanks JM!
Wow, that is really cool. Share the history when you find out more!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture too. :)
It must be wonderful to live in a house with so much history. I'll enjoy hearing about it when you have more to share.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what other new things you will find out about your new home? How exciting, to be learning more and more history about 'ye old homestead!'
ReplyDeleteIt would have been a shame to see a highway right there!!
ReplyDeleteYou will tell us what you find during your research?..
Enjoy your day.
¿¿??... wow... interesting post great link.
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting about the old road that at one time ran through.
ReplyDeleteIt must be interesting to find out these things about your house. It must be fun putting together its history.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, how was your family reunion thing the other week?
What a beautiful shot -- and fascinating about the 220!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat... what a pretty area on your property! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteTanya, you live on a really interesting piece of property!
ReplyDeleteI love stuff like that - that would be so cool to have something like that on your own land.
ReplyDeleteHistory is fascinating isn't it Tanya? Especially when it comes so close and effects you personally. Glad you are going to learn more about it. - Dave
