|  | Here are two
      residential houses that used to be stores in the old Ridge Valley.
      One of the reasons people were attracted to Ridge Valley was
      that they didn't have to travel long distances, wait for a peddler,
      or make their own things. | 
  
    | This is one of
      many beautiful stone bridges in Ridge Valley. Because it is a
      valley, many streams flow through it from the higher grounds
      above, resulting in beautiful bridges and rich wildlife. |   | 
  
    |   | The old
      white church in Ridge Valley was big and attractive. Many people
      often met to worship there. This church is also a historical
      landmark. | 
  
    | The old
      brown church of Ridge Valley is located across the street from
      the old white church in Ridge Valley. Because they look similar
      and are located so close together, Ridge Valley was given the
      nickname - "town of the twin churches." Many consider
      this area a great place to raise children. |   |
