Farewell, Old Farm!

 Woodstock, VA


There is a huge development project underway on the east side of Woodstock. Judging from the map, I’d say it’s about equal to twelve town blocks. I first saw a sign go up on Water Street, and then saw another sign plus heavy equipment on Hollingsworth Road. Then a few days ago, I noticed that the land was being cleared on French Woods Road, and when I turned onto Cemetery Road, I saw this construction site past the cemetery. 


As you can see, this used to be a farm. The farmhouse has stood empty for years and had become dilapidated. I stopped to take pictures because I don’t think the house or barns will be here much longer.




The final picture shows Charlie looking at the heavy equipment from the Hollingsworth Road side of the project.
