Interesting Fact

I like history and I love genealogy, so I found this interesting.   I learned something new.  We live close to Woodville.  Actually, Shawn is the one who found this today.

TACOMA
AKA - Woodville

“There is a ghost town in Northwestern Carroll County that was once an Indian Village known as Tacoma.  White settlers named it Woodville.  At one time there was a large Catholic Church, saw mill, store, Universalist Church, brick school house, and many other businesses.  Today the brick school building is a private residence.  The cemetery is the only other property marker that still exists.  There are approximately 10 homes in Woodville today. You can find a couple photos on www.carrollcountymuseum.org.”
