Mint Hill Historical Society





Mint Hill Historical Society
7601 Matthews Mint Hill Road, Mint Hill, NC

"A For Sale sign hammered into the front lawn of the old country doctor's building was all the motivation needed to begin the Mint Hill Historical Society. 21 citizens signed the charter in 1985 with the purpose of preserving the history of the area..."

When we were visiting the lady working there that day was telling us that no one was really visiting these days, little ones from different local schools were not visiting, the virus has really put a huge rock in their puddle, hoping that will change again real soon for them, I know they thrive with visitors. It is so fun to see all these historical buildings, really enjoyed our short spot by there. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Mint Hill sounds very Southern! 😃

As does this, "...the virus has really put a huge rock in their puddle"

Love that saying. 💕 I've never heard it before!

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
