Beverly

While in Snowshoe WV, my mom, my new friend Lisa, Valerie, and I all made the hour drive to visit the historic town of Beverly.
It was such a fun and lovely day.
We packed a picnic lunch and started our drive down the mountain.
We stopped at a museum where they had cake and ice cream for West Virginia day.
This beautiful old bank (love the subway tile) is a part of the museum.

Then we headed over to an antique shop. They specialized in antique textiles. I should have bought something.
The house served as a hospital during the civil war. The man who restored it (who we talked with later) had uncovered grafitti by the soldiers. They had them framed so you could read them.
We asked the owner where a good spot for a picnic was, and she told us to eat on her porch! So we pulled up some antique chairs and she brought out a tablecloth and we enjoyed our lunch. Then we ran next door and got some cake too! It was pretty cool to sit and eat where soldiers once probably did the same.

Then we headed over to the Lemuel Chenoweth museum.

It was HOT. I mean hot! I think I melted a little. Here are some more pics from our journey. (You can click on all the pics to make them bigger.)

Notice the missing ear on the kitty. I'm guessing the winters are pretty cold here too.
