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
Winterset, Iowa is the boyhood home of John Wayne and the home of the Bridges of Madison County!! What a fun place. I love this sort of town.. a wonderful court house with the town built all around the square and John Wayne's home just a block or so away. We walked around and visited one of the coffee shops! Lovely day and so clean and neat... just loved it... Wonderful visitor center with a worker who is so helpful! He was so nice and helpful to all who came in... We took tour of town as he mapped out for us and then on to the tour of the 5 covered bridges. This town certainly makes the most of their celebrity! fun fun
