BUS TOUR - PART FOUR

The next stop on our tour was in

the town of Bluewell, WV.

Here, we visited 

Buddy's Country Store Museum.

The building was just jam packed.

One room was set up with hundreds of items

found in coal camp stores 

in the early days of mining.

Below is the entrance of the store.

Check out those old signs.

Look at that old scale, cash register and

other things found in an old timey store.

Here is an old barber shop set up.

Look at the Post Office mail boxes.

This must be one of the first baby walkers.

There was just so much stuff...
I didn't take pictures of everything.
Below are things in the second room.

This first picture is of an old newspaper...
click on it so you can see the date.

This part of the room is set up like a bedroom

may have looked back then.

This must have been one of the very first

ringer washers ever made.

Here is a collection of old irons.

This is an old wind up record player.

The records are about 1/4" thick or more.

The lady wound it up and it really played.

Below is the old wood burning cook stove,

and lots of other things found in the kitchen.

Here is a collection of old adding machines,
old typewriter, old radios and toys.

After leaving the museum, we headed for

Pinnacle Rock State Park.

Some of our group walked to the overlook...

I stayed behind and sat in the shade.

I snapped a picture of the mayor standing below

Pinnacle Rock.

She is a very nice lady and a great tour guide.

From here, we headed for Princeton, WV.
The bus drove around town while our
guide pointed out some of the sites.
Princeton is where we picked her up,
so we left her here and headed for
The Cracker Barrel to have supper.
After supper, we headed home.

We covered a lot in one day...
I really enjoyed the trip and hope
to go on more.

I hope you enjoyed my bus tour posts.
