Wordless Wednesday - Living History

Our daughter has always had a fascination with history, and although working on her Masters, is able to get a taste of the past, dressed for 1762 and 1913 at local historical societies. She looks great in either era...See WW and WW


1762, Derby (CT) Historical Society
1913, Shelton (CT) History Center

Whimsical Windows - Historical presence

1762
1913

Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where we look for doors and windows of interest and/or whimsy...our daughter Allegra has a great interest in history, and participates as a docent in two local historical societies in two different eras: to the left, it is for the Derby Historical Society at the 1698 Humphreys House - dressed for the year 1762. On the right, it is for the Shelton (CT) History Center at the 1822 Brownson house where she is in the year 1913 - two different eras are showcased not by just the attire, but also by portals from long ago. History is ignored by most - happily though she helps to maintain a love of the past...
