October 22, 2015

The next morning before we headed down the road, we went out for breakfast and got some more pictures of nature's beautiful offerings.   Dan and Tom

 The birds were out for breakfast too.

The Whistle Stop Cafe breakfast was great!

Just around the corner from the cafe.

Alice, Carol and Tom out for a morning walk...enjoying the colors.


Not all of the town is residential.

Deep River Landing was the site of shipbuilding starting in the 1790's and extending until 1867. One of the largest boats, a 400 ton brig, was named MUSIC because the town was the nations leading manufacturers of Ivory piano keys made from imported Ivory. Upwards of 12,000 pounds of Ivory were imported a  month with finished keyboards shipped out daily by steamboat.  Many sea Captains set sail here.

 Across the river from Deep River Landing.

 For the tourists in town, there are also 2 other means of transportation.
