Three Bloody Marys and a hair treatment at 6!

Well, I can tell you that this little town is very old and very small.  Bloomsbury was part of the American Revolution!  Most do not realize it, but half of the American army that fought at the battle of Trenton on December 25, 1776, marched though Bloomsbury on their way to join General Washington to fight in the battle that saved the American Revolution for the patriotic cause. 

The population is between 800 to 1000 and I bet there are more people buried here than alive (lots of graveyards).  This town started on coal and now hosts many a retiree and commuters to larger cities.  I will be meeting some local ladies at the hair salon at 6 PM for a deep conditioning and hopefully some local gossip. 

Pictures!

The best I can do so far for fall colors!






The old Bloomsbury Black Mill

The general store which is not a store but a deli.  You have to drive 2 miles out of town for a grocery store.....


Most of the houses here are colonial style......

Sidewalks are rock slabs, not concrete.......
