Other highlights included a visit to Purification Church in Sharon, the Episcopal Church of the Mediator and Washington Presbyterian Church, and a reception in the home of Betty Slaton. The visitors also toured downtown Washington, the home of Mrs. Caroll Levell, and the Kettle Creek Battlefield site.
