Funny how history repeats when men make same mistakes… It started gloriously, “peasants” beating the king but just a few generations later (hope not but chances are slim to recover this heritage) blew it.

ps:Even managed to inspire Russians to revolt and try to make changes regardless of Declaration was officially outlawed there.

Stone noting there was a British field piece across from these houses to secure the route…

I used to know the owners of this house …they would have great parties on the April 19 celebration day and we would watch the fantastic parade they had.

Last time I was at the parade it was loaded with groups espousing their diversity and culture….

Coming into the town center…

 

[pmclaine]

Huh? You don’t say….

What is being done to preserve the space…

You know your country has been at war too long when rental containers are camo…

Lexington is affordable and welcoming….

Entering the old house…

The kitchen…

The ceilings are amazing as they were whitewashed than they added black accents to hide the soot.

This ceiling was tiger stripped in dazzle camouflage.

The Jason Russel House in Arlington used Dalmatian spots.

Look at these floor boards.

Parlor…

Musket fire damage.

The fire control water buckets….

 

[pmclaine]

My cell phone to compare width of floor boards…

View from the Tavern to where the Brits were coming from…

The Tavern where the Minutemen met….

Note the community clay pipe. You used the pipe than the next guy snapped off where your COVID lips were to get a fresh pipe.

Love this fireplace….
