Small town Perry holds quiet history of rail and memory

Perry once a busy rail town with hotels stores and a depot on Railroad Avenue grew around the railroad era. The town, named after Wagener and Sally, saw three daily passenger trains and later lost the tracks. Rev Al Brodie recalls schools, early discipline, Perry Union Institute, and wartime visitors. Today Perry remains a tranquil community drawing new residents seeking quieter life.
