(Ock.  We should totally do one of these.  You could lead one worth filming, Im sure.)

Join the Clay County Historical Society at their Annual Railroad and History Festival on Saturday, March 7 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Historic Triangle on the corner of Ferris St. and Gratio Place in Green Cove Springs, FL for a day of free family entertainment! Come tour the 1889 County Courthouse and Jail along with a local museum full of Victoriana! Come visit the Depot to view the Society's extensive Railroad Collection, jump on a handcar, or board a turn of the century Caboose!

We do have a super cool Union Terminal from the era. and yes, I know all the nooks and crannies in the original building - including the secret rooms far above the floor.

But I won't walk the plank walk...

"Say is that a plaster dome below our feet?"

"Yes and a city block below that is MARBLE!"

CRACK!

SPLAT!
