Small town bar raises glass to Village of Hordville

On a warm, rainy July afternoon in the village of Hordville, a farmer, banker and local mayor all walk into a bar.

These friends and staples of the community gather over a round of beers at a large table near the center of the bar. Around them, the walls painted with maroons, greens and yellows provide a splash of color as hearty laughs bounce off lofted ceilings. Historic village photos adorn the bar with reminders of Hordville’s past.

Well ahead of the evening rush, the bar is milling with people, mostly area farmers who came in out of the rain.
