Looking Pretty for Our Most Special Occasion
Rogersville looks pretty every day. So much here is visually pleasing, specific to seasons and to times of day. But quickly approaching are the days in which our town should look its very most appealing, the days in which Rogersville entertains more guests than any other time of year. Heritage Days has lasted almost five decades, an amazing feat for an event that has no paid staff and is put on by volunteers, wisely scheduled at a time of great beauty here in this little bowl set down between surrounding mountain ridges. In my personal opinion, living in Rogersville’s National Register Historic District is both a privilege and a responsibility because its houses belong to history as much as to the families whose names are on the deeds. Driving through town, I see several owners already have placed heritage candles in their windows in anticipation of the upcoming event. What are heritage candles? Well, they’re those single window candles of the tradition begun decades ago by the Heritage Association to emphasize the beauty of our National Register Historic District. They add such charm and warmth to a residence that they are used all over town now, and beautifully so. Hopefully,
