Travel Local

My traveling partner who is also my daughter and I are checking out some of the local

places to visit on the weekend. It is strange that you live somewhere almost all your

life and have never checked out local places.

We start out with our small town which we discovered has a museum. It is still in

infancy but growing. The Youngsville Womens club started it in 2007 by purchasing

the oldest church building in town to preserve it and to make it into a museum to

house the history of Youngsville and the surrounding community.

The Youngsville Christian Church was first organized in 1886 and it is still a lovely

building and I am so grateful that it is being taken care of. There is still a lot of work

to be done on the church to bring it up to date so that the museum can expand and be able

to take in more artifacts  The articles they have now are great and it is a pleasure to

look at them and learn of the history of our town. Did you know that it was

originally called Pacific in 1848 when the first post office was established? It was

incorporated in 1875 as the town of Youngsville. History is great and I am glad that

our hometown has a museum.

To help finance the work on the museum
they have on sale notecards and a small
print of the Church by Brenda King .


Check out your local places and see what
treasures you can find.

We have a local trip planned for next weekend
so check back and see what we discover

Until next time Thanks for reading and sharing.
God Bless
