Yesterday in Page County
Charlie’s friend Sadie is checking out a mural in Ruffner Plaza. I’ve actually shared this mural before, but it was in 2017. Let’s look at some other things.

There were some plaques telling the early history of the town, which was established in 1812 on land owned by the Ruffner family. Another plaque said that the first bluegrass festival was held at in Luray in 1961.
We also stopped at an art gallery that is west of town. It’s run by the folks who used to have the Warehouse Gallery.
It’s always fascinating how places like Ruffner Plaza hold layers of stories from historic plaques to beloved local cats, each adding a bit of charm and character to the town’s evolving tapestry.
ReplyDeleteIt’s good to see those plaques explaining historical events. I assume that if they refer to slavery or oppression they would have to be removed in the Trump era.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely mural. I hope the cat doesn't stray too far from his home. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Linda. I like facade of the Art Space building.
ReplyDeleteLove the mural, Charlie and Sadie!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
...bright spots.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to visit that gallery's new location.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I've never met a cat Mayor before so cool!
ReplyDeleteI know cats are a big deal and a part of everyday experiences in Greece as my daughter loves cats and everywhere she went there were cats just roaming and meeting folks!
ReplyDeleteLove the both dogs...
ReplyDeleteApplaus. A great praise for Bill, rescued the turtle!
Ooops, today I'm later than usual with the comments. But yesterday's storm left its mark on the garden... we've been busy.
It's a great pleasure to visit you again, dear blog friend.
Happy MosaicMonday!
