Woodbine

In Woodbine, we saw a mural, a grain elevator, and a number of small businesses. It also has a number of community events, as you can read about on the town's website.

The town was founded as Lyons in 1871, named after a nearby creek, but was renamed to Woodbine in 1887 when the railroad came through.

Some other points of interest: 

• There were several cars in front of Brigitte's Country Cafe
• An old school (closed by consolidation) has an army tank in front of it
• There are lots of houses with porches (in various states of repair)
• One house had a fence and cattleshed out in the yard, with a couple of cow skulls hanging over the shed door. ("I've heard of horses, horses, bury all your horses, but I guess these are people who do that with cows?" said one of the kids)
• A park
• A lovely stone United Methodist Church building
• A library!
