Well, first of all you need to review the blog that I wrote about Georgetown AR way back in 2009. Blogs seem to live forever on the internet and this one had some great pictures of the old Georgetown. Click HERE to read it and then come back. Now, we are ready for more Georgetown history. Look at these pictures, in bad shape on the first and last one, but very interesting. A lady found my blog and sent me the message seen below the pictures about her family. I love the fact that she treasures the family history and family pictures (27 comments)
Searcy Arkansas is the seat of White County and it is surrounded by several small towns that used to be working towns. Higginson is one of them. It has a railroad track running through it that is still a very busy track. Trains speed through quite often. Perhaps President Obama's plan for fast trains will include passage through Higginson. My friend Ludean lives there and has supplied several pictures of Higginson which I've blogged in the past. I think she also supplied this one showing railroad workers in Higginson. It has Missouri Pacific Oilers working at depot in Higginson. Wikipedia (11 comments)
