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.

The Organ Concert and a Bell Ringing Concert i at the Methuen Memorial Music Hall


On August 30, 2023, I went with a friend to hear my first organ concert. When we entered the building and saw the organ, I was surprised at how massive it was.
The Methuen Memorial Music Hall
192 Broadway (Rt. 28)
Methuen, Massachusetts



The ceiling was beautiful.
The organist was from Houston, Texas.
We were early and by the time the concert started, every seat was taken.


Another view of the ceiling.




 
I went back to take daytime photos and to attend a concert given by the New England Ringers. For all performances, we are not allowed to take photos.






The program on the night I went.
