I went to a garage sale on the Christian Hill Road in Bristol , Maine . I lived a quarter mile from it back in the 70's - The dirt road that led to it had no name back then .

So I bought some stuff - $7 for all .

I told them that myself & my brother would come up here to an old bottle dump . The Mother said '' yes in the woods over there '' She pointed . She asked me if there were granite rocks in a square , I said yes .

She said a Black Man lived there in the late 1800's , and one night , people came and burned his cabin down .
She said ''Before this was called Christian Hill ,back then It was called ''N'' word Hill Road. And she said every old person in town Knows this .
I was Thunderstruck !

Anyway , The tiny camera , looks like one in the back of a comic I never bought .

Great bargains.(!) And history update.
Congrats.
 

Dang mojjax, you sure find some cool stuff! I hope you dig up some treasure when you return!
 

Older people sure know their local history. If they do not pass it on and it is not written down somewhere then it is gone.
