Horsing Around

Spotted a few remnants of things gone by while on Main Street the other day. These things have to do with the days when horses were used for transportation. Below are a couple of photos. The first one is a watering trough for horses. There is an inscription on it but very difficult to read. The date appears to be 1820. Too bad they don't use it for the many dogs that are now walking up and down the street as it would be a fantastic watering hole for them. The second photo is of a tie up for horses. We saw several of this along the street.
