Robert E. Lee

[TNGUNS]

Got to meet Robert E. Lee today. We had the bicentennial celebration in Old Washington TN today. I have hit it pretty hard for the last several weeks to find enough for a descent display of relics for the celebration. I didn't think I had enough to really even display. I was shocked at what a big hit it made. Most of the relics I have dug were within 1/4 mile of the park and really thrilled the residents. The New York button, penny buttons, old pocket watch, and CW era bullets really brought to light some of the history of the little town. Could not believe how many knew nothing of the CW activity in the town. In short I had a ball. The Rhea County Historical Society is going to make a display to be exhibited in the Court House Museum of the relics I have dug. Ain't I special.....ha ha. All and all a great day.

Isn't it amazing how little people know of their town's history? You are doing a great thing by helping to educate them. Keep it up...
