Life From The Roots: Jan 2, 2024

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 1713 Job Lane House Museum, Bedford, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts

295 North Road

Bedford, Massachusetts 01730

https://joblanefarmmuseum.org

It is open May through October, Second and Fourth Sunday, 2-4 PM.

This large lovely house museum is in Bedford, Massachusetts, a small town bordering Lexington and Concord.

There is a large parking area where I am standing and you walk up this road to the large barn on the right (and below). This is where you can get information about the house museum, pay your admission by a donation, visit the gift shop, or wait for the tour to begin.

This was the first room I saw on the almost-hour tour. I had no way to take notes and there were too many bits of information given. I've copied their information sheet to share, see at the end. Some items are original to those who lived in the house, and many have been donated or purchased over the years.
