I just joined #smalltownsketchers because I live in a small town and love all the small towns in western NC. This is a sketch I did a few years ago of “The Aerie” in Glenn Alpine, NC ( population about 1,525). This was the home of Dr. “Gus” Hennessee who was assassinated at the Glenn Alpine Depot after visiting a patient in Greensboro in 1918.

Davidson’s Fort, Old Fort, NC (pop. 908). My sketch is of the reconstructed fort. The original fort was built in 1776 and was the western most outpost in Colonial America. I enjoy visiting during the civil war reenactments with everyone in full costume. Old Fort is located between Asheville and Marion, NC.
