Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
Yale University is a real treat to the eye! We made it to the town too late in day for a tour but oh my goodness! What a gorgeous school! The students and staff are so fortunate to have such a beautiful place to study! I love all these old buildings any way but this place was just gorgeous. Worth a trip to New Haven. Of course we were in an area we are not familiar with so of course we ended up driving around about 2 blocks away into the worst part of the city! How can you have such a beautiful school with money oozing everywhere and slums two blocks away? Beyond my way of thinking.. Always the good with the bad or vise versa... So glad we made it to this school although I'll bet it is really an eye catcher in the fall when the leaves are all in the fall dress.
