Walking Tour of Downtown Powell


Taking a Break in Front of the Hall Home

Description:

It was a beautiful summer evening for a walk around town. The temperature and humidity were comfortable especially after days of 90+ degree days. A maximum capacity grooup had a good time listening to some of Powell's history, and many of Sherry's anecdotes about growing up in Powell when it was a small town.
