It has been a while since I have posted anything. We left Pennsylvania on Nov. 16th and arrived in Harrisonburg, VA that same afternoon. We have put the RV in temporary storage while we are spending the Holidays with family. We will be leaving Harrisonburg on Jan. 4th and will take a couple of days to get to our next stop in South Carolina.
We did take a couple hours the other day to visit Mount Sidney, Virginia (about 15 miles South of Harrisonburg) where we used to live in the 1990's. We parked the truck at the park behind our old house and walked around town for a couple hours. Much of the Mount Sidney downtown area is on the Register of Historic Places and our old house is listed in the Historic District even though it is not as old as most of the others. The first two pictures are of our old house where we had an antique shop for many years. The house is known as "The Mary Ann Chine House" and was built in 1875. We lived in the main part of the house and had an antique shop in the three other attached buildings (you can only see two of them in the picture).
Log cabin across the street known as the "James Ross House" built in 1840.
One of the only antique shops left in Mount Sidney - there used to be several.
Abner Shumake House - c.1839 (antique shop above is attached to it) - Clapboard section is all logs underneath - this is a beautiful home inside.
Edward Moorman House c. 1835 - this was an antique shop when we lived here.
Harper's Store c.1820
