Massachusetts
This year's route.
Our view from Sturbridge Resort, an ROD park.
Springfield Armory NHS. At its height, there were 14,000 employees
working to produce over a million guns year.
The muskets never shiped.
We found yummy treats at a local grocery.
Fresh lobster, corn, and tomatoes--that is enough!
A trip to Salem, the only port that remained
open during the Revolutionary War.
The Custom House.
On the red line walk to find witches-here is one.
Some more on the downtown pedestrian mall.
Nathaniel wrote "The Scarlet Letter" while working
at the Custom House pictured above.
Literally, he was fired because he was writing instead of working.
He added the "w" in his last name because his
ancestor was the judge who hanged the witches.
Our 360th National Park visited.
Happy birthday National Park Service.
Both of us got put work in the forge.
These iron works are the oldest working ones in the USA.
In Virginia a plant was completed before this one,
but an Indian raid killed most of the people
and the iron works never operated.
Brimfield is the home of the largest? and oldest?
Antique/Flea Market in the country.
10 to 12 display areas deep on both sides of the street!
And it went on for a mile!
We saw it all--well, some of it.
