We began at the Post Office which closed at 10 AM so if you wanted to go inside you had to be there by 9:45 AM.
We saw a couple of churches, a tavern, and several homes, and our guide talked about the history of the small town.
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 passed out several booklets on Historic Mooresville's Bicentennial Est 1818 but ran out.
It was a nice day for the tour 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.

My next stop was the Botanical Gardens.
I first went to the Butterfly house and saw one butterfly, a few turtles, and several children.
I was so thirsty that I bought an orange crush drink and finished it off before I left the gardens.
Walked through the Children's Garden to the newly built Birdwatching building. Meet a man there who was building a new home and was getting ideas for his lawn. (shrubs, flowers, and such).
Had a nice relaxing visit to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens?
I strolled through the wooded area along the paths less taken.
I saw several Robin Redbreast, rabbits, and squirrels. As I was walking near the pond I saw lots of turtles sunbathing.
Yellow and White Wildflowers were blooming everywhere they were so pretty.
I also walked through the herb garden.

I had a great day but was tired from all that walking and I still had to drive an hour or more home.
