Some information is missing
For example, what WAS this place? And what did that sign used to say?
If it was near a county line, I’d think it had been a beer store, sited as close as possible to a dry county. But it was in the middle of the county, so that explanation doesn’t seem to make sense.
It was on a hill, though, and commanded a fine view of the county.

Baby
A lot of babies are buried in this remote cemetery – one row had five tiny graves, all marked “Baby Smith.”
Then there was this marker, made from concrete, with only part of the words still legible.

The last rotary
This may be the last rotary phone…and from the amount of dust on the cord and the top of the receiver, it hasn’t been used in a while.
(Spotted at the Dixie Dog, where if you sit at the counter for lunch, a friendly waitress named Kay will be happy to talk. And where the cook, having completed the lunch rush, said she was going outside to “smoke a piece” of her cigarette.)
