This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

North Carolina's Vollis Simpson's Whirligigs
And, you can still go by Simpson's shop, where he created those neat whirligigs. It is located about 3 miles from Lucama, NC, going toward Wilson off Highway 301.
I understand, there are still a few of the whirligigs there, but in need of repair.
During World War II, he served as a combat engineer in the Pacific Theater. After the war, he operated a building moving company for awhile, then ran a farm equipment repair place.
