Bassett Historical Center "Lifts" Its Skirt
Of course it doesn't wear a skirt! But as you walk along the Smith River, behind the Center, you see lots of things: beautiful Blue Herons, clear, cold water splashing big boulders, brave men standing in the river fishing. And as you reluctantly turn around and away from the river you notice that the Bassett Historical Center has planned for high water. And wisely so because in the old days the historical collection was kept in the basement of the Bassett Public Library, now called the Historical Center. And in the old days the water often rose high enough to matter. The history of this great institution is so interesting!

Quote of the Week: "One of the problems with many of our government representatives is they've never been in a foxhole late at night in a foreign country with somebody trying to kill them. If they had they would show some backbone and support our troops instead of castigating them. There's very little political correctness in combat." Mack Evans, Martinsville, VA
