Photo 16-VFQ-2 from Pre-1986

Comments

This is old Monroe's Store, in Goldvein Virginia. I grew up in a house behind this. Located along Rt 17, approx 3 miles north of the Stafford/Fauquier County line. This is Fauquier County. Growing up here in the 1970's, the store owner was H.P. Monroe and he was store owner, postmaster, head deacon at church, and fire captain! The little white building in back was the Goldvein post office. The field in back was where they had the annual Goldvein fireman's carnival, and all of us kids played hours of football in that field. Nice memories here ! It's not a pretty place like this anymore, however... perhaps the plane on this roll of film was flying along Rt 17 from Stafford County, as I have recognized places in both counties now on these rolls.
