Hi my prims, this will be my last post for just a little while because I am having surgery NOV 1st, so, Mr. Hillcrest and I took a ride to Concord, MA. and Lexington, MA. the foliage was breathtaking and there is just SO much history right here in our own backyard!
So, grab a cup of tea or hot cider and enjoy the tour:
The entrance to the park, which covers five towns!!!
Here is some more pictures, of the bridge where the first shot was heard round the world. Many men that day died, and there was alot of blood shed.
This next picture is were 3 British soldiers are buried right near the bridge...
When I was standing there I got the chills just thinking where we were standing there was such a bloody battle and so many men lost their lives.
This statue was right in the middle of the battle field, look at the beautiful blue sky and it was just such a crisp cool day!!!!
Here I am on the bridge, and all of you that know me well I didn't want my picture taken but Mr. Hillcrest said oh Honey you have to so all your friends can see where you were!
This is what we saw when we were walking over to the Colonial home that you are going to see next!
Here we are walking up to the home!
Here is another view.
All the pictures of the home you just saw was built by Reverend William Emerson and he built his home in 1769.
On April 19th 1775 William and his family watched from their home as the British soilders and the local militia fought the battle that started the American Revolutionary War!
I am sure Mr. Emerson and his family were scared to see this happening right in front of their eyes in their back yard!
I was so excited when Mr. Hillcrest took me to see the real home of the "Little Women", which is my FAVORITE movie of all time, with Jo, Beth,& May. Here are some pictures of the home!
Here is a picture inside of the home!
Here is Nathan Meriam's House!
Here I am ,I am HOME, LOL!!!
Here is some pictures from inside Nathan's home!
Now here is another home you are going to enjoy! If you need to take a break and get another cup of hot cider or tea, go right ahead!!
Okay I see you are all back so here we go....
Next I am going to show you the view they had!
Here is another view...
Just breath taking..
Captain William Smith was Abigail Adams'(President John Adams' wife) brother and here is his house, he was married and they had 5 children!
Then when we went in, there was a woman dressed up and told the whole history of the home, here she is with me..
This picture of her above could be on the cover of a magazine.. it came out so nice. Here is where i am going to close the tour because I have some other things I need to show you!
