There is something wonderful about walking where your ancestor's walked and imagining the stories that played out in their homes.
The following pictures of where some of my ancestors lived during their life's journey are the subject of my contribution to Week 9 of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2105 Challenge.

Built in the late 1700's, Springbank Plantation was the home to the Epps, McElveen and Smith families until the early 1900's. The home has been rebuilt and remodeled and is now a retreat.

My Grandparents are now gone and the house belongs to someone else. When I visit Camden, I still drive by, take a look and remember. There's no place like home.
Are we kin? Please contact me. Together we can find our people.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Loved this tour. It's fun to compare photos then and now. And it's really cool that one of your family homes is now a historical site.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendy! I love these pictures. I haven't visited the cabin yet but hope to do so soon! I appreciate you reading the post and you taking the time to comment!!
DeleteGreat photos. It is always nice seeing where you family lived.
ReplyDeleteI really get caught up with wondering what life was like for them living there. Trying to collect as many pictures as I can of those that are still standing. Thanks so much for reading my post and taking the time to comment, Bernita!
