Fall is in the air. The leaves will soon begin to change colors. What better time for another historical walk around town.

The date us Saturday, Sept,. 26, at 10 a.m. Beginning at the Waxhaw United Methodist Church at the corner of McDonald and North Church streets. Plenty of parking is available there.

Waxhaw native, Melvin Faris, will be joining me again. He is a walking wealth of informational when it comes to reminiscing about his boyhood days in Waxhaw. He will tell you about going to the “moving picure” show, and the day he played hooky from school because he heard he town depot was being moved,. A momentous occasion that he wasn’t about to miss

We will share some early turn of the century history of Waxhaw sprining to life after the railroad came through, and the town was incorporated. We’ll even go back a bit further and tell you a little something about the Waxhaw indians and young Andrew Jackson.

Now we don’t claim t know all there is to know about Waxhaw’s history, but we’ll share some fo the things we do know.

It will take about an hour and a half and we will walk less than a mile around town. So wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water.

No registration is necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 704-843-2246.

We’ll have a good time. And it’s free. Looking forward to se you in Waxhaw, corner of McDonald and North Church streets at Waxhaw United Methodist Church.
