Went downtown early to explore more in the historic district. Went through the house that George Washington used as his office when he came to this area at the age of 16 to do surveying. He was a self-taught man who did very well for himself. At the age of 20, he owned hundreds of acres of land. Later, he led armies and, of course, became president of the US.

I visited the library whose building is quite impressive. Hope you can see the dome on top.

I visited another antique store and salivated over more marble topped tables. You just don’t see them out west very often. Back here, they are very prevalent.

One thing I noticed in old town was how the old houses are right next to each other. No wasted space.

I took a walk this afternoon, and it was hot and muggy. In the 90s. So, I spent most of the afternoon reading a book in my cool room. No need to suffer.
