A flock of sheep grazes on the lawn and among low concrete walks in front of a row of white clapboard tourist cottages. The site is the Old Fort Tourist Cottage Inn on Richmond Pike, one mile south of Lynchburg, Virginia, advertised as a quiet, comfortable place to spend the night. The mix of farm animals and neat roadside cabins fits the early motor-travel era, when cottage camps offered simple overnight lodging along the roads into town.
