Some miles South of Morgantown is a small town called Grafton. The drive there is very picturesque and takes around 35 minutes. A lot of it is a bit run down, but on the other hand lots of new places are popping up. The properties are less expensive there and it makes a reasonable commute to work for those who want a more rural type of lifestyle.
We visited the National Military Cemetery for the Civil War dead, and the very first Union soldier to die is buried there. Grafton has a lovely, fairly new Public Libary and the Genealogical Section is wonderful for those "granny hunters" out there!
I am sorry not to have a photo on this entry, as silly me forgot the camera didn't I!
About Me
- Lakewood Lady
- I was born the youngest of seven, just post ww2, so I am what you'd call a "baby boomer". I went through all the normal stages of development, and even survived the sixties relatively unscathed. I would say I have a fairly balanced view of the world and what's going to happen, happens, there isn't often a reason, well none you know of anyway. I hope to share some of my thoughts and ideas about these things, hence this blog.
