Sherman's birthplace and Sheridan's childhood home

Post by Ephrum »

The little village I live in, Rushville, is right between Lancaster(Sherman's birthplace) and Somerset(Sheridan's childhood home's).
For your enjoyment, are some pic's of the General's childhood homes.

Sherman
Image

Driving east through Lancaster, on Main st., one can't help but see this;
Image

Is Lancaster proud of him or what!
Image

Right up the street, on the next block, is the Sherman House.
Image

Image

Image

From this angle you can see the original structure.
The brick part was added in later years, as the family grew.
Image

Image

Inside the house is a fantastic museum.
But they don't allow anyone to take pictures inside.
I was very disappointed about that. Sorry fella's.

Here's a couple of views of Lancaster from Mt. Pleasant.

Image

Image

Then, off to Somerset. About 21miles east of Lancaster.

Sheridan
Image

There is no Sheridan House in Somerset.
Some nice people in a coffee shop told me where to find the first, and second home's
the Sheridans lived in.
The first house doesn't even have a marker, and is currently occupied.
It's located on Sheridan ave. Go figure!
Image

The second House does have a historical marker.
Image

And in the center of Somerset, is a statue of Sheridan.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed them gentlemen!

Since the visit to Chickamauga, I've developed a bit of enthusiasm for photography.
