Sam Buchanan Posted August 6, 2023 Report Posted August 6, 2023 Took the son and granddaughter for a little tour of the town this afternoon. Since he had his camera with him we decided to make a stop in front of historic Founders Hall on the Athens State University campus, the following images captured the moments. 13 Quote

Bag of wooden nickels if'n you know the reference I had to Google that one................. Founders Hall has a rich history beginning before the Civil War. A beloved story about the building (might have some element of truth) is that the Madame of the girl's college in the building at the time stood on the balcony when the Union troops were ransacking our town and read a letter supposedly from Abraham Lincoln stating that the building was to be spared. Anyway, it worked and the building still looks much as it did 150 years ago. Edited August 7, 2023 by Sam Buchanan Quote
