All we could think about was our grandparents and how they worked too hard to let it just fall down.

We just want to keep it this way so that people can see how they lived in this community in those days. This is a way to honor my grandparents.

Grandma was a Grogan and had come from a section of Dobson known as Freetown. Grandma's father had earned his freedom by working nights and weekends.
