Historic Jefferson Depot Village in Jefferson, Ohio

Eric & I are touring Historic

Jefferson Depot Village.

All the buildings in this Village were built in the 1800s.  Some are from neighboring communities.

The Jefferson Depot is listed on the

 National Register of Historic Places.

Its distinctive construction is common across the country.

Eric is hopping a train

for points west...

I'm going to miss him

& his RV backing

skills.

This Victorian home was

built in 1888.

This School has two doors...

One for girls & one for boys?

The Blacksmith Shop

Hohn General Store

Ashtabula Pharmacy

1860

Methodist Episcopal Church

Eric & I spend time pondering

this stone "bench."

We decide that it's not a bench.  It's a set of Mounting Steps (Carriage Step, Horse Block), used by carriage and wagon passengers to descend from or ascend to carriages or wagons.

The nearby Watering Trough &

water pump

The Church Barn 

In New York State, this structure

is called a Carriage House.

Eric decided not to ride the rails west and miss the rest of the itinerary he's laid out for us this summer and fall.  He and I leave Jefferson Depot Village to explore the rest of Jefferson.
