live music and an ice cream social. The
two historic structures—Mrs. Clara’s Sandwich Shop and Tom &
Tallie Boney’s Dairy House—are included on the Town of Blythewood’s
list of historic features and are symbolic of rural life in
Blythewood in the early 20th century. The
owners of these structures, Dorothy Martin Blume and Zelda Boney

Society’s regular hours: Thursday and Friday, noon to 4 PM, and
