England & Scott

Since you can't board a plane and fly to England right now, the next best option is to hop in the car and drive to England (the one in Arkansas, and also while observing and maintaining all social distancing recommendations). On the way to England you drive through the small town of Scott, which is home to the quaint looking All Souls Church. The non-denominational church was built in 1905 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.



Scott is a neat little town that sits near the border between Pulaski and Lonoke Counties. It has long been a farming town, and it is dominated by artifacts of that history. The Plantation Architecture Museum is here, along with these tall silos.





Almost right across the street from here is this humble old house, which actually is one of the oldest structures in this part of Pulaski County. The McKenzie House, which was built between 1868-1875, features vernacular Italianate features.



England is just a short drive away, and is also a small farming community siting amongst rice and cotton fields. Some of the most prominent and largest buildings in town are silos and processing facilities (I guess? I mean I'm no farming expert).





And one last shot - It had rained that day, and some of the silos were caught in a few of puddles...
