Fun with Booth and Herold?!

[L Verge]

We never mention the tavern on the tour because we have no idea of its historical time period nor its "entertaining" displays. Those displays have been there since at least the early-1990s, if not before. We do not call attention to them. My staff, who now go on the tours in my place, just informed me that they are still hanging out of those windows.

I seriously doubt that the "tavern" was there in 1865. No sign of life in that immediate area until the railroad came through in the 1870s, and a stop was created at Cox's Station (the old station/store was still standing when we started the Booth Tours in 1977. After the turn of the 20th century, a real village that was re-named Bel Alton grew up. It was quite an area and even had its own orchestra in the 1930s.
