Got to see some new places

The other day we took a drive to Lexington NC. There isn't much to see but we did go to the North Carolina Transportation Museum. This is a old train yard and they restore trains here. They had lots of train cars and engines of all kinds. They have some real cool units here. There is still a round table that you can ride on. It is a cool place to visit and there are other things to see there too like cars and trucks and other things that are part of the transportation business.

We also stopped by the Old Court House that had some cool old things from way back. It is called The Rowan County Court House and was built in 1855. There are things Like old guns and swards and even a covered wagon. There is even a sales slip for a slave in 1854 for $855.00.


We also stopped by the DR. Hall House built in 1820. It started out as a girls school and he bought it in 1856 and his family owned it and lived in it till 1972. Most all the things in the house are original and belonged to the family.
