There is a scarecrow at the Stonewall Jackson House in Lexington, Virginia. Thomas Johnathan Jackson was a Confederate general in the American Civil War. But, before the war he lived in a nice little house in downtown Lexington, Virginia and he had a productive garden “out back”.
This is an old fashioned scarecrow (made with a potato). It is hanging in the Jackson House garden now.
I could do that! Easier than crocheting.
