I see you got wet when you took these pics.

Nice little quaint town. Lots of history too. Nice set.

Thank you for braving the rain to document the town! I wonder why they didn't name it Calvertown?

I've only been there once, and you probably spent more time there than I did.

It does have a nice little waterfront (picture) that it looks like you understandably missed, thanks to rain.
