Finds in the woods

[Merf]

Shermerville--A party town. 300 people and 5 saloons.

I Hunted some woods in the burbs yesterday and found this old foundation and what I think was a well.
The two tokens are identicle and I think were good for a pint of beer.
I found this about Shermerville--



In 1901, three hundred residents incorporated the village of Shermerville. The village had five saloons, a meat market, a coal and feed store, a general store, a harness store, a stonecutter, and a railroad station. Shermerville gained notoriety during its early years for boisterous gatherings at its inns and taverns. In 1923 the town's approximately 525 residents sought to change its image by changing its name to Northbrook.

Best luck to all, Merf

23 years of activity should mean some more good finds. You are off to a good start. The token is cool. The bell is very sweet too.
