The Walking tour took place in Town Creek and everyone was to meet at the Farmers Market on Main Street.
I was early so I looked around and talked to the vendors. I bought two tomato plants.
At 1:00PM the van arrived driven by Pastor Steve Agee provided by Victory Baptist Church.
The former mayor of Town Creek (Linda Peebles) rode with us.
Everyone loaded into the van and we headed to the public library.
We were met by the librarian she gave us some material which included:
Welcome to Town Creek which included stories about Saunders Hall Good Mansion
The Town Creek Hotel, Town Creek City Hall, Veterans Memorial &
The new Story Walk is a learning trail behind the library. It is designed to introduce visitors of all ages to the environment of the area.

| The librarian told us about the Story Walk Trail and gave us all the pamphlets. |
Our next stop was the Town Creek Depot where dignitaries made speeches they were Mayor Mike Park, Proncey Roberson(State Representative) Loretta Gillespie, & Robert Sheffield (Former Hazelwood coach).
The Town Creek Train Depot was built in the early 1800s and the first run of engines took place on February 1, 1835.

Also attending were former NFL football players from Town Creek. Chris & Kerry Goode (brothers) and DJ Jones. |
After a meet and greet session, we headed to our next stop Posey Farms.
We were greeted by the Posey Family with refreshments.
Mr. Posey said it all began in 1953 when we leased 7 acres of land and planted our first cotton crop.

| Posey's first home is now surrounded by farmland. |
