Rural Filling Station

Courtney road filling station.  I never gave this a half a  look when we would pass it .  Just another filling station to me on an old country road that was decaying.  
 It was more than a place to get gas, as it is told below, there were customers who had running tabs for gas,  no way will those days come back.    
The old filling station with a canopy - glad to see it preserved as a reminder of a simpler time

Meadow farm

A living history 1860 farm site and museum in Henrico County, Virginia
The cultural history of the Rural South is presented here by it's programs and exhibits.
Dr. Mosby Sheppard was the owner of Meadow farm and lived here with his family.  Seasonal activities are enjoyed here on certain weekends of the year. 
 
 
Wings were added I understand as the family grew larger
