Those are very cool pics! I am a big fan of Jonathan Edwards, the 18th century preacher who was Aaron Burr's grandfather.
That is cool. NE has such great history. Nice pictures.
Thank you all for stopping by and leaving a comment. I will definately stop by your blogs. In my travels I will watch for Jonathan Edwards, maybe see if I can find the church where he preached in Northampton, MA.
