Scott

The small town of Scott is close enough to North Little Rock that it could possibly be considered a suburb now, but it still retains a lot of its small-town charm and history. And a lot of that history revolves around agriculture, which is reflected in the large number of old farming buildings there.

It's a place that I find myself returning to often to take pictures, because there are so many things there to take pictures of (it also helps that it isn't all that far from home).

Just down the road was this neat old barn...

Which was very photogenic so I took a bunch of pictures of it (my apologies to anyone who doesn't like old barn pictures).

As you drive south from Scott, the road is lined with many tall and stately pecan trees. The trees were planted over a century ago on the grounds of an old plantation.

I headed east and passed by this old abandoned store. This was probably once the company store for the Jones Colony, which was an agricultural resettlement area. There used to be a sign here that once read "Hamiter-Little Estate 1879," but the sign may have been knocked down when the front overhang collapsed. The store was partially burned a few years ago, but it still standing.
