The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Appleton Farms, Ipswich, Massachusetts

Appleton Farms "is one of the oldest continuously operating farms in the country, established and maintained by nine generations of the Appleton family." Per their flyer.

1794 House, now used as an Office, Museum and Visitor Center on the 1,000 acre working farm.
Period room in the Visitor Center.
Updated kitchen which will used to give cooking classes, using many of the items they grow. They are even going to make pizza (note: newly purchased item on table).
Lots of trees, fields, fences, and animals such as cows and chickens. They sell homemade cheese, milk and others products here.
Entrance to the dairy and miscellaneous barns.

I'm thinking fall will be a nice time to visit again. Can't wait to see the colors.
