Nancy, the chairwomen of the Museum committee, very kindly responded to the question about the Josiah Dennis Manse in my last blog entry.
"The round stone at the front door is one half of a millstone. The other half is at a door at the back of the Manse. If you visit a working grist mill (There is one in Sandwich, MA) you will see this kind of mill stones actually grinding the corn."
Wish I had a picture of the back door for you.
What I do have and will blog on at some point is exterior and interior photo's of the 1745 school house that is on the property.
About Me
- Jane
- At a crossroad in life, the road forward weaves back to interests,passions not fully explored. Shall I count Colonial Williamsburg at 10 as my first encounter with history at home? Or was it as late as 1970 when my roommate and I scaled the walls of an uninhabited castle in the Swedish countryside? Looking back is fun but there's so much new to see and learn. Come with me.
