It was a great turnout at Mooresville, for I had to park along the side of the road and walk several blocks. We began at the Post Office, which closed at 10:00 A.M., so if you wanted to go inside, you had to arrive by 9:45 A.M. We saw a couple of churches, a tavern, and several homes, and our guide shared the history of the small town with us.
We saw a beautiful little cottage that is now Lyla's Little House of Mooresville. "All the sweet that's fit to eat!"

The brick church had been owned by several different denominations but was now owned by the town and used for weddings and town hall meetings.
We walked inside the Brick Church, the Post Office, and the Tavern.
Our guide distributed several booklets on Historic Mooresville's Bicentennial, Est. 1818, but ran out.
It was a lovely day for the tour. It was a little cool but warmed up quickly.
I left before it ended because I couldn't hold it in any longer.
I stopped at Cracker Barrel in Madison to use the restroom.
I had a great day, but was tired from all that walking, and I still had to drive an hour or more home.
I strolled through the wooded area along the less-traveled paths.
I saw several Robin Redbreast, rabbits, and squirrels. As I walked near the pond, I saw many turtles basking in the sun.
Yellow and White Wildflowers were blooming everywhere. They were so pretty.
I also walked through the herb garden.
