From indistinct points where they appear to have leaked into the flatlands like softened candle wax, the dipping, curving hills of Carroll county rise modestly. To the north, Valley store, once
	part of a bustling community years ago, then to Malmaison, elegant home of Greenwood Leflore,now ashes below the grass. Steeped in our history and preservation of our past, we are stately old homes with porch rocking chairs, we are church socials where you eat ‘til
you pop, we are deep woods where each generation is taught that nature is a gift, we are old brick stores with yesteryear’s secrets forever locked within our walls.

Won’t you visit us? You’ll like what you see!
