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
Although we are not familiar with the current country stars we are both familiar with a lot of the older ones and so wanted to stop by here! Oh my what a thrill! Thought we would get thru fairly quickly but no way, hours later we emerged back onto the street and lost out on stopping at The Hermitage (on my bucket list).. but this was so much fun. They set up a few changing displays so we had the privilage to see a special display on Chet Atkins and Buck Owens and unfortunately did not get to see the Patsy Cline display that will be there in Aug 2012. We did see Elvis 24 carat gold plated cadillac and piano! It was so much fun seeing short videos including Roy Rogers and Marty Robbins. It was well worth the visit and although we could have spent days in Nashville seeing everything it is just a good excuse to come back again some time. Very cool and well worth the time and $...
