5th Annual Village of Moscow Car Show

          Sitting quaintly on the banks of the Ohio River, the Village of Moscow rests beneath the towers of an energy facility that once was nuclear but now burns coal. Founded in the early 1800s the Village was a key stop along the Underground Railroad, assisting escaped slaves in their quest to find freedom in the North.
          With the birthplace of former general and president U.S. Grant just a couple miles to the west, Moscow was also the home of noted abolitionists Robert and William Fee. With a population of under 250, this picturesque dot on the map has proven to have more history than many larger places.
          On a warm, muggy day, though, this quaint little burg turned it's attention toward another kind of history as it hosted the 5th Annual Village of Moscow Car Show. For the next few blogs I'm going to post pictures of some of the cars that made their way to this one time ferry boat town to show off their cars.
