During a busy day you can stand in the middle of the street and not have to worry about getting hit by a car. There are two intersections in Henning that have a stop light. This one actually cycles throughout the day. Even though no cars are at the intersection, it will still turn red every so often. I'm assuming there are no timers of the stop lights because when a car comes to a red light, it doesn't turn green right away.
Henning has tried to leave the old building fronts in tact as much as possible. This may appear to be a building that could potentially be used for a retail business of some sort, but it's just a hollow shell without a roof. I think at one point there was a fire that left these two sections a hollow shell open to the weather.
There's an old watertower in Henning. Not sure if it's used, but I sure think this point of view is cool.
This well-kept front porch belongs to the Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center. The boyhood home of Alex Haley draws people to Henning. As I was photographing this home I met a man from Oregon. He had come all the way to see Alex Haley's boyhood home. He wants to tell his grandkids he has seen it. If someone from Oregon has come to Henning to see one home, just imagine how many more visitors would come to the town if it was revitalized. Henning has loads of potential. Hopefully one day it will become a vibrant community again.
