A FEW MORE PHOTOS TAKEN IN CLIFTON, VA

There is a history of Clifton at this website.

I didn't share the horses we found in my last post.  We saw them when we took a ride off one of the roads from the main street.

Thinking the road was going to loop back around, it came to a dead-end, and was a private road.  We turned back and soon found a parking spot on the side of the road in town.  

This is the Quigg House, where we found our happy dog in my last post.

Here's a fuzzy picture I managed to get of our happy dog.  She was doing the wriggly, happy dance.  I barely got her in frame and was happy she didn't totally blur out in this one.  I had several blurs.  Such a sweety!

This house is one of my favorites.  

It also has a lovely courtyard.  (Most of these historical houses are private homes.)

This is a very quaint little town with a history. If you live here you are used to people reading those markers and taking photos of your home.  There are a lot more tourists here in the warmer months.  Today it was still very busy with people walking up and down, looking at the shops, going into the restaurants and enjoying these lovely historical homes.  There are also home tours a couple of times in the year.  I went on one years ago.

There are picket fences in front of every home.  

I missed the marker on this one.

This is the Clifton Baptist Church, replacing the one room church that was on this site, in 1910.  

I found one bit of history online as I missed the marker.  It read: "In 1876 George W. Tillet, along with other area men who served with Mosby's Rangers during the Civil War, formed a Baptist Church with services held in his home.  Subsequently they built a one-room church on this site in 1877, which was replaced by the present church in 1910.

That's it for Clifton for a while.  We will probably go back in the springtime.
