Strawberry Banke Museum In Portsmouth NH

Image
  My brother and our friends and I went to the Strawberry  Museum in Portsmouth NH . It is a historical little town filled with fascinating and interesting things. Here is my photos of my tour of the place.  Here one can see the tour guide giving information on the museum and its houses.  I believe this was a workshop that was there. I think he was working on a barrel.  Here is a writing desk to keep records for the small business that was in one of the houses.  There was a green area that was nice. one can see the houses in the background. Here is or was a small garden behind one of the houses. There was a dirt path among the houses. It was easy to walk around to see the houses.  Some of the houses are still being renovated. Only the houses with flags did one get to go into them.  On the left is a little store with many items of the past on display. It looked really cool.  Here is what I think is a writing desk in one of the houses. Here is a writing desk in one of the houses.  Here

Tea And Accessories At The Visitor Center Of The Adams National Park

Image
  There are some nice things at the Adam National Park v isitor center . Some of it is what I would or could call 'tea related'. They have a variety of teas and accessories that go well with it. I bought some tea there and plan to go back (someday) to get more of the other things they have. Here is some of the items that they have for tea (or coffee?) drinkers. They have a nice variety.  Here one can see the round cylinder containers of a variety of teas that one can buy. I bought the gunpowder tea. It is really good.  One can see the different mugs that one can buy there too. They are really nice. Perhaps more of a coffee mug but can also be used for tea; in my opinion. One can see the patriotic mugs that they have. One can drink ones tea or coffee and show that one is patriotic and support the National Parks at the same time.  I bought some nice things. I bought some teas and a glass cup with the park name on it. The glass cup isn't visible in my photos above but it is r

Adams National Park at Quincy MA?

Image
  My brother, Don and I went to see the Adams National Park in Quincy MA . It is an amazing place filled with history. I took some photos of what we saw. Some of the photos are posted below. I don't know if this was part of the park but I thought it was really neat looking and included it with the other photos.  This is the Peace Field house. The stone library is located to the left of this house.  Here is a cemetary located in the downtown area of Quincy.  i Here is a statue of John Adams (John Quincy Adams?) in the downtown area. It is not far from Abigail Adams nearby.  Each of these pillars are made from one piece of granite. Usually they are made in parts but these are like the monoliths in Egypt in that it is one piece instead of being parts being stacked.  This is the church that has two generation of Adams buried in the basement in a really nice crypt. They have tours of the church most of the year (call to see if they are open before you go).  This a statue of Abigail Ada

The Library At Peacefield?

Image
  My brother, Don and I went to the Adams National Park in Quincy MA. Part of the tour is the stone library at the Peace Field house of the Adams family .  I took some photos. There is a small area in it that one can stand. One could not even lean on the railing that was there. One could see the whole library from that one area and I thought it was truly amazing. I took a whole bunch of photos. It is not as good as being there. It is - in my opinion - way cool and amazing.  I used the camera app on my Samsung Z Fold 5 phone. It does a pretty good job of taking photos. I made sure the flash was off since it was a requirement before taking photos (flash photos were not allowed).
