Step Back in Time and Imagine

A bit of traffic noise from the county highway. Otherwise lots to do here. Horse shoes, disc golf, woodland trails, and a playground. There is also a historical site - the Richardson-Jakway home built in the 1850’s. The town was platted Buchanan but the locals called it Mudville!!
