The days of skies darkened by flight of ducks and geese may be gone, but memories of those days are preserved through the works of art and preserved artifacts.A marker on the other side of the museum is shown on the Historical Marker Database.
Shenandoah! A beautiful valley and a winding river -- how fortunate we are to live here! And since I love photography, I'm taking plenty of pictures and sharing them here. You'll find other subjects too. If you like historic sites or gardens or animals, you'll find them on this blog. Please visit often and feel free to comment.
