Pete & Jan's Travels 2010 travel blog

 

Looking at the front yard from the porch.

It is a beautiful old home.

 

Joyce, Pete & Bill waiting to go in.

Time to sqeeze in a photo of the four of us.

Avery & Gertrude Ausley, the last residents to own this home.

I love the fireplace in the living room.

 

 

In the Military Room...local soldiers.

Looking at the back of the house.


Our last outing while we were still in No.Carolina was a visit to the Mt. Gilead Museum. The museum is a home once owned by Avery & Gertrude Ausley. The home is now cared for by the local Historical Society, they offer guided tours or you can walk about on your own (we chose to do our own thing). There are many photos in the home of Mt. Gilead residents dating back several years. If your ever in the area, its worth a visit.
