• If you went to George T. Cromwell Elementary school in the 1970s then you may remember Ms. Stoll. She taught third grade and was a relative of the owners of the Stoll House. This house was old, huge and had graves in the backyard! It was located on the corner of Crain Highway and Furnace Branch Road. Eventually, it was torn down, but someone did take a video of it. The video is not the best quality, but it may bring back some memories. (Stoll House)
• It's not too late to get your garden looking good. Evergreen Genes just may be able to help you out. They've been around since 1953, so they may know a thing or two about gardening! (Ever Green Genes)
