Cannonsburgh, Oaklands & Coyotes

Today Bobby & I went out for a bit of a drive-around to see what there is to see. We found ourselves in the Historic District of Murfreesboro, and came across the Oaklands museum. The grounds (and really, all of Murfreesboro) was the site of a battle during the civil war, and the house had been restored to depict life during those times. Unfortunately the house itself was only accessible during guided tours, and we'd missed the last one for the day, so we didn't get to see inside, but we looked around the grounds and in their gift shop which was cool.


After that we visited a "replica pioneer village", Cannonsburgh, which is really a bunch of buildings relocated to the site. Apparently during May-December (or something) they have people dressed up and going about their "business" complete with working blacksmith forge. Again, we just wandered the grounds. For some odd reason they had a tractor museum/collection off to one side. There was also a shed (I say shed, but it had no walls) with really old farming equipment.



Then we cruised off to Barnes & Noble because there was something there I wanted to get as a gift, and Demos for Dinner - Once again, very very tasty.

Tonight when we got home we could hear coyotes howling, which is stirring up the dog quite a bit. Bobby says they're probably about 1/2 a mile away. Sounds neat, in an unsettling way..
