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.

All That History and Flowers at Concord, Massachusetts Pt. 2

Above is the Visitor Center, (the former Buttrick Estate) and below is the side entrance, facing the gardens.
Continuation of Pt. 1

Old photo in a frame, inside the Visitor Center, showing the house and gardens.

Beautiful grounds.


At the end of the gardens, there is an overlook, in which you will look down on the Concord River and North Bridge. A short trail will take you to both. Below are the river and bridge taken from the opposite direction.
In my opinion, the best time to visit is early in the morning, perhaps 30 minutes before 10 AM. You will be there before the bus loads of tourists or school children arrive. When the Visitor Center opens, you could be among the first to get inside.
