     History
    At one time a bustling community,only a few buildings remain.Though the sign states the years of habitation from 1929 to 1960,I've found,through a local history book,that Bulwark is in fact much older. There are listings of residents listed there since back in 1906. I'm told that one of the homes that are left was last lived in in 1960 or so,but we did find things that were more recent. There is a typical story of a man going crazy and killing a few people,though it's said that the house where that occurred is no longer standing. Who knows. Also,kids swear that the area is haunted. What is in fact true though is that there was two sisters who lived here,and they both drowned in nearby Frenchman's Creek.
