Wandering Through South Mountain Era Scenes and Tales
A reflective hometown column recalls a past Sunday trip to South Mountain and nearby sites. The writer notes Civil War era reenactments at South Mountain House, a research booklet by Le mmoin Cree, and a collaboration with Mitch Deaton. Vistas along the Barnesville and Sugar Last Mountain corridor are described, with visits to Fort Detrich era history, Comus Inn dining, and a memorial day stop in Gettysburg. Modern tourism at Carroll Rang’s horse show, Carter Hall, and the Carter family burial churchyard is sketched, along with an old Broadside sale notice for Richard Shekles auction and nearby real estate. The piece blends nostalgia, local history, and personal travel impressions into a single reminiscence.
