The geode pillars of Woodbury! |
Constructed of locally collected geodes. There was some evidence of repair where vandals had chiseled out particularly attractive specimens. |
| 1/9/2008 I can't thank you enough for posting the photos of the geodes at Woodbury. The pillars were at the entrance to the property of our great-great-aunt's house, and we used to go wading in that same creek as children; some of the happiest days I can recollect from childhood. Polly Freeman Lyman Here is (part) of an article that I just wrote about it . Sometime in the early 1960s, when I was around 6 or 7, my grandmother was driving a gaggle of us young cousins home from a day spent at great-Aunt Lizzie's house, a grand old estate called Beaver Dam, in Middle Tennessee. Our simple pleasures of the day had been searching for geodes in the creek and cracking them open, sifting for fossils we called "Indian money," busily building and knocking down our own little dams, and later, wandering around the vast rooms of the antique house on the hill.
