Pioneer,
As I understand it, you are a bit of a historian when in it comes to Clay Co. history. If I am correct, are you familiar with the book Parade of Memories? If so, is it accurate? I live in a historical home in Middleburg I'm sure you'd be familiar with as would most of the regular bloggers here. My home was rumored to harbor slaves and have a tunnel from my home to Black Creek from which is only 800 feet from my second terrace. I haven't found the tunnel but it is still heavily rumored to be true.
My home is also in the Middleburg Museum as being haunted. However, in the 15 years I'veĀ been there, I've only seen the previous owner twice!
Any thoughts?
