Hebron's Historic Cemetery Tour

It's time for another Outdoor Wednesday,Metamorphosis Monday and Mosaic Monday here at Applejack Lane. I am so glad you are visiting with me today. For the past two weekends, our church experienced a metamorphosis by going back in time. First, we went back to our lawn party days and held an ice cream social followed by an historic cemetery tour. With a history that goes back to 1746, some members buried here had some interesting stories to tell. Many of their families built some beautiful historic homes that have been on the Garden Club tour circuit in years past.
