    I've been to Jamestown Tn. I was there several yrs ago. My cousin married a girl from that area and I helped decorate for the wedding. I live in Jamestown Al. We have old general store directly across from my place. It has an old Post Office in it also. The store is closed and so is the old Post Office. So glad to see that in Rugby Tn. Will and Dawn great vlog!!

    My Wife and I are loving these back road videos, they are awesome.
    By the way you will like the movie October Sky, it is based on a true story that took place in the fifties and the impact on 3 teenagers and space travel. By the way since you are in Jamestown (Jim Town) it's a short drive to Pall Mall and Sgt York museum.

  • @ritalockett9788
    @ritalockett9788 Рік тому +2

    I have been to Rugby several times. There is so much history there. You will have to come back and visit when they are open and do tours. The church is actually still used every Sunday. Across the street from this town are new houses that were built on the same order. Look up the history of Rugby Tn. English Colony. It is very interesting. You can tour the house,school,store and all the buildings there and spend the night there in one of the cottages if they are available. Be sure to go back I know you will be glad if you do.

    I enjoyed your back roads trip today. My mom grew up in Wartburg. I spent every summer there. We use to swim in the creek that led to the falls. I remember her barn roof would get painted every spring. It said See Rock City. I know the paid her a small amount to use her barn for advertising. It brings back good memories.

    We loved this, loved being with you all seeing the old buildings, general stores and museum and waterfall. The buildings really took you back in time. Wow how the times and technology has changed from then to now. All this modern stuff, I think we have forfeited the peace people had back then, no pressures like we have today in a rat race society. I know people worked hard back then, but they had time for each other!!

    Thank you for visiting this area. This is "home" for my family. I was born in Morgan County, had all my shots at that court house. My Mom lived for a time in Rugby with her grandparents and went to the one-room school there. I have been to Potters Falls countless times and have been in that water. I never jumped off those falls like many of my cousins have. I have also shopped at Brooks Store, it looks exactly the same as I remember. This was a trip down memory lane for me. Thank you! By the way, Rugby is seriously haunted. No kidding!
