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.

Fuller Gardens, No. Hampton, New Hampshire

Fuller Gardens 
10 Willow Avenue,
North Hampton, NH 03862 

The Fuller Gardens located almost on the Atlantic Coast in North Hampton, New Hampshire is well known for its superior rose garden. Below are some of the hundred or more photos I took, plus statues. If you love roses, this is a place for you! The Fuller name is well-known in this area, and not too far from the garden is the Fuller Farm where thoroughbred horses might be seen. https://www.fullergardens.org/about-fuller-gardens/






















If you lived anywhere near Boston or the coast of New Hampshire, you heard of Peter Fuller in the 60s. He was bigger than life, especially when his horse Dancer's Image won the Kentucky Derby. There aren't a lot of horse owners in this area, this area isn't like Kentucky or Virginia, even so, his farm Runnymeade Farm Racing Stables, is a little over a mile from the Atlantic Ocean, in full view from the end of his road. (See map below.)
