The New Tygart Flyer took us on a scenic trip.

The scenery was spectacular.

The train stopped for a break and we walked down to the river.

Friday night the “Cheat Mountain Corksniffers” played folk and square dance music.

The Virginia Reel was very entertaining. Especially for the audience!

Square dancing is hard !!

The bedspread is pictured in the reprint of “The Vawter Family in America”

It is described as “tufted embroidery” in a grape design.
