some old pictures from Rogersville, Tennessee

rogersville7


Back in May we worked at a car show in Rogersville, Tennessee. I had been meaning to post some pictures of this but I forgot about them. The car show is a benefit for local charities, and each year is held on the land of a man who has recreated a small town from the fifties on his property. He has a Texaco gas station, a car dealership with an original curved class window, a railroad car style diner, a metal Sears house (I think it is Sears, anyway) and lots and lots of vintage antiques to furnish them. And the buildings are not just reproductions -- he has purchased the actual buildings and has had them moved to his property. It really is like a museum -- he should open for business and charge admission.

My camera ran out of batteries partway through, but here is a sample of some of the sights:

What a trip! I really want to go exploring in that area because it's next door to Pressmens Home, although most of the place is demolished.
