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
Took one last little ride around mid-state Vermont before leaving and oh my --- what a nice surprise! We found that perfect little town that you see in all the postcards! Did not know it before landing there but Stowe is home of the Trapp Family Inn and cute other historic Inns and churchs ... Yes, those are large spoons hanging from the tree! Stowe is really known for it's skiing but they are diversified and have a lot more going for it than just ski season. Not far from there is gateway to all the little fun places like Ben & Jerry's and Green Mountain Coffee just to name a few. Check out the chair on the porch of this house... we have seen quite a few chairs made from old skiis ... great way to use old skiis. Worth the stay to see the scenery take on a new life of it's own.
