Carlisle

The town of Carlisle, in Lonoke County, was incorporated way back in 1878. And recently while driving through Carlisle, I made a few stops at some older and interesting old buildings there. This old shop or garage sits near the center of town.

Just outside of town is this cemetery, where grain elevators loom in the distance behind grave markers.

And north of Carlisle is this old home, abandoned and empty.

This is another one of those places that you wish you knew its history. When was it built? Who lived there?

And a big thanks to Laurie Skillern on Instagram (@laurieskillern) who shared with me the location of this house.

On the way home I drove down this dusty dirt road, which ran through the flat Delta land by these metal silos...
