I visited this cool little town of Rabbit Hash recently. Most of the buildings are from the 1830s and still in use. There was a general store, winery/store, bar, and barbecue place. I sat and talked with Bob (the older man in the picture) about the history of the town and about life in general. He spent most of his life in this small town. He can still remember how when he was growing up his family, like most, had a horse and buggy. He use to travel across the river to the near by town of Rising Sun by ferry. The ferry would carry his horse and buggy across for a modest fee. He said the town had change very little since that time. In the picture he is wearing his prized possession, a wooden hat. A man in a nearby town carves these wooden hats that are beautiful and surprisingly light weight. The general store was nice and sold an assortment of local products and antiques that have been collected over the years. The owner was even nice enough to donated a t-shirt to me. I have never seen a town of this age still preserved. It was like stepping back in time. If you are ever in the area, I suggest you travel to Rabbit Hash for a glimpse through time.
