Virden

Some of the small towns along the route hold a special place in my heart.  Burden is one of them.

My first time through Virden I met a lady who's son lost his life in Iraq.  A memorial to him is on the town square.  Also on the square is a World War II memorial and a memorial to those who lost their lives in a bloody conflict between miners and mine owners.
