Signs, Signs, A Message From The Pope & A Good Fence In Buchanan

Rte 11 . Troutville (across the street from this week's water tower)

Buchanan Swinging Bridge

Constructed in 1851, burnt down in the Civil War, rebuilt, washed away in a flood, rebuilt again...this bridge has been through it all! I've shown you the bridge before HERE

More snaps of the bridge:
Birds like it...

Looking back into town from the bridge...

And here's the concret bridge that was built in 1937. This sits right next to the Swinging Bridge. That's the James River. For more info on the bridge(s) CLICK HERE

Have a great day!

"Water tower, it sure is good to see you
I've been away, for way too long
Water tower like a lighthouse in a storm
You help me find my way back home..." Jason Aldean

Through My Lens - An Old House

Rte 11 . Buchanan


“An old house that had lived its life long ago and so was very quiet and wise and a little mysterious. Also a little austere, but very kind.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Emily's Quest
