Bob and I headed out today to see some of the local sites. First, we headed to Fifer Orchards to peruse their farm market. Fifer Orchards is located in the nearby community of Wyoming, Delaware, about a 15 minute drive from the house. It has a population of about 1,700 and was named after the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania.

On 2/21/19, it measured 56’ in height, a trunk width of 167”,
and a crown spread of 99’. It will be listed in the state’s 5th edition of “Big Trees of Delaware”
as the second largest English Walnut in the state.
On the way back from the orchard, we stopped at a couple of other places in Wyoming as well. First, was the Rider Country Store in an old rail depot building.

Finally, we wanted to get some photos of a couple of historical landmarks in Magnolia that we had read about.

just thought I’d photo the water tower today since it said Magnolia.

It is currently privately owned.
