Down to Commerce

We made our way to Commerce and headed south down the street. We took in the atmosphere of the town. Besides the typical wood-frame and brick buildings, there are a lot of structures made from stone, a legacy from the original Cornish settlers. Here's an interesting image:

It's actually two separate dwellings, which have been converted into one with part of the second having been demolished. Also notice the fine stone work of the buldings to the right.

Here's a view, seen from Commerce, of a more residential part of town:

We're planning to stop at the town brewery for lunch. Though, like many of the local shops, the brewery was closed during the week in the off-season. Still we caught a good view of the creek which runs nearby.

By the brewery is also the local railroad museum. It's actually, the oldest depot in Wisoconsin still surviving, but on the Monday, very closed.

The weather was the first warm break of the year and the flies knew this too. They were all over the place in the town. While Sandra rested for a moment, I took a couple of snapshots.

Hanging Out on the Stone

After a brief rest at the benches outside, we headed back towards High Street to eat lunch. But before the meal, we actually stumbled into art gallery which was open.

Coming soon...meeting Bruce Howdle...
