Town of Perry

Since Sheila's maiden name is Perry, we had to visit a nearby town called Perry!

Pretty town - lovely old homes and buildings and beautiful landscaping. Formerly known as Wattsville, in 1824 it was renamed Perry after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a hero from the War of 1812.

The 'New Perry Hotel' was built in 1870 and rebuilt in 1925 (not sure why it's "new"?) - mustn't be doing that well as it's for sale.

Wish we could have stayed longer, but it started to rain and we don't enjoy being cold and wet.
