As I was walking around his home place, I wondered what he looked like,also what kind of man he really was. According to the encyclopedia,he had a very strong,driven personality. He was a poor,illiterate frontiersman who married Hannah Herrington. It seems from reading that he had a real fondness for fighting, one of the wars that he fought in was the Revolutionary war.
Here are pictures of the old home place…
I love the stone chimney and the shutters…look how they dovetailed the logs !
Here were some signs that were interesting.. the museum is open to public during a set time,which I missed.
And that, my friends ,is a short insight of Elijah Clark. The park is a lovely place to visit!
beautiful building…how lucky we are to have these few remnants of another way of living…and then, the sunset…xo

I so enjoy history when you can get a little feel of how it was,otherwise it can become just words on a paper.
