Excuse me, but that's not in the least bit true. All liberals think the same way as fatlazyless? I can assure you that is not the case. You are guilty of painting a rather large and diverse group with the same broad brush.
As far as the regimental buildings are concerned; They are a priceless resource and should be emphasized as an integral part of the community with their interesting history. How about a visitor's center with some displays etc. about the civil war? (The buildings were built by Civil War veterans) The buildings are probably (?) filled with artifacts. How about opening some of them up for tours with folks in period costume? How about holding
re-enactments by the various groups that do that sort of thing up in the grove behind the buildings? Something like Sturbridge Village or Strawberry Bank in Portsmouth? Get some federal dollars in grants to declare that part of the Weirs an historical district? Work WITH the veterans and the
Lake Winni Museum.
How about a "Molly the Trolley"? (in addition to the trains and boats)
The
Weirs Beach Action Committee is a big stake-holder and is very active. One of the owners in the area (who was trashed in a post above and BTW is a member of this forum) has put together numerous websites on the history of the area. See

and

I also put together a history some time ago. Check it out....

As everyone has said, you need a vision. All the stakeholders need to work together - liberals and conservatives
P.S. Thank You for your service Maxum
