Visiting a presidential library leads you to consider the President's character and personality, even longer than you expect to.

The front of this building curved and full of glass to allow light in is inviting. Inside is a history lover’s dream.  To begin with a historical marker . . . almost anything new here in the South has been built on something that was a part of history.  In the 1750’s if you were taking the stagecoach north from Winston-Salem, heading toward Virginia, you would stop in Mount Airy. This stagecoach stop by the Ararat River later became famous for a very different reason. It was the Andy Griffith show, and fictional town of Mayberry, that made Mount Airy famous. If you walk downtown today you will see many reminders of this.  A couple of days ago we posted about Lewisville, Arkansas. I wanted to add more pictures, focusing mainly on the seemingly abandoned print shop and the architecture of the buildings surrounding the town's primary intersection.  A few days ago I mentioned that Mark and I had happened upon Lewisville, Arkansas near sundown, as we were on our way to northeast Texas in December.  To be sure, this is more like connected stories I might tell during an afternoon, while piecing a jigsaw puzzle with you, rather than evidence of a close connection . . .
