Tour of Windsor

After presenting and signing the memorandum of understanding with the town Dr. Schneider, Mayor Hoggard, town manager Allen Castelloe, town council member Cathy Wilson, and myself took a tour of the town and followed that with lunch at Bunn's Barbecue. The tour covered King Street and all the major tourist sites. We visited the Craftsman and Farmer's Museum. This museum contained numerous old tools, saddles, and a whole blacksmith section. Many of the tools were antiques that I have never come across before.




The next stop was walking by a statute commemorating the Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War. A little known secret is that the statue is actually a Union soldier because it cost less money and was more readily available.




Past the statue and down the street was St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The cemetery outside of the church contains several old graves, some are from before the civil war.







After the visit to the church we went and walked toward Bunn's Barbecue for lunch. On the way we stopped and saw an old school house that has been preserved.




Bunn's was great. It is well known for its barbecue as well as its famous East Carolina cornbread.
