It is an easy walk up to the end of Main Street and through the small suburbs of Nelsonville and Molly’sville. It is rather interesting to think of one long street running through a village.

Nearby, there is a point of land projecting into the river, from where Gifford got a strong sketch of the mountains opposite. A pretty pine grove is on it and later, when it is warmer it will be a nice place to sit. After the point I climbed the hill to Free School House and followed      Avenue and Chestnut Street to it’s limit. There is one thing about this place, it is not easy to loose ones way.
