In the beginning, Old Sherwood Town featured plenty of "auctioneers, peddlers, brokers, hacks, carriages, wagons, carts, drays and omnibuses... barrooms, billiard tables, theatricals, and other amusements." To be sure, "bawdy houses, beer gardens, dance-houses, and gambling houses... obscene language, cursing, swearing, drunkenness, or disorderly conduct." ...were strictly forbidden. (Quoted from the 1893 Town Charter)
"Old Sherwood Town" is only nine blocks in size, yet it represents a very large chunk of what America was about during the turn of the 19th Century. The physical Trail winds through these nine blocks. It begins and ends at the Sherwood Heritage Center. (Also take a look at our 2006 Web Page!)
