Hello,
I am currently writing a book on Arbor Hill or aka Port Union in Adair County.
I also am currently residing here with my husband and two children, there is
one more resident located here. We are in Adair County - Harrison Township -
Section 20. This community had one of the original post offices in the county.
First phone service and electric. At one point in time there were 24 established
businesses here. I am still researching this. We have just tore down the old
general store. The foundation of the grist mill is still here, Bunces old
garage and the blacksmith shop along with 2 old residences that are abandoned
as well as the occupied residences. Many of the folk from here are passed on
but I am still pursuing writing my history. Old Settlers Reunions, Poultry
shows, a dance pavilion that drew the whole county, band, baseball team and
much more. I have 200-2003 photos of the buildings that have since been tore
down. And 2003 photos of the buildings still here but abonded. Would be
ecstatic to have our "town" on your list.
Thanks, Autumn
