A mystery solved.
A shout out to Tom, another participant in Shadowshot Sunday, for a suggestion that solved a mystery I blogged about on Wednesday.
I decided to go back and take a better picture on Thursday and I got one that even had a shadow. So we need to go back in time, to when horses were an integral part of transportation.
I'm certain this is a horse hitching post. I've seen stone steps associated with these before (an aid in climbing off the horse)- one is in the village of Owego, New York. But until now I didn't see the remains of a hitching post.
This website shows some of the styles these came in. The company that owns that website, apparently, does restorations of these and other pieces of our history.
We forget our history all too quickly. How soon will what we take for granted be forgotten by future generations?
