HUGE tobacco farming history here. Every other farm we’ve looked at comes with a slatted tobacco barn for drying leaves. It was the main economy here a generation or two ago, and the parade this year was the history of our town – from the glaciers that missed us right thorough today.

What a beautifully colorful parade.
