In the morning, I made my way over to Nicodemus. I started my visit at the Town Hall, the visitor center. This ample space resembles an auditorium, with many tales of the city's inhabitants displayed around the room. There was just one ranger on duty, so I waited until he had time to give me a brief tour of the town. He highlighted 2 buildings and then had to return to the visitor center. They don't get many visitors, so I don't think I kept him from seeing anyone, though I know I wasn't the only one to visit that day. The walking tour brochure does detail the history of the buildings, and it's an easy walk around the town (though it was still chilly for early May).
If this layout looks familiar, I posted it for the Lasting Memories Challenge. For details about the construction and papers, check out this blog post.
I added an 8 1/2 x 11 pocket page between the main pages of the layout. I placed the walking tour brochure and a photo of the crumbling infrastructure on the front. I used a piece of paper from the same pack to create a feeling of continuity as you look at the pages.
On the back side of the pocket, I added 2 more photos of the town (same building but one zoomed in). And to emphasize the forlornness of the site, I added a die cut of a crooked house. It's supposed to be on a Halloween page as a haunted house, but scrapbooking has no rules. I also found an old CM die cut that had some embossing. I used a black marker to ink the embossed areas to make them more visible.
