What nice grounds to walk around on... and what a beautiful panoramic view from where I was standing when I took this photo from the near edge of Thomas Jefferson's victory garden here at his Monticello Estate, which is located about two miles southeast of Charlottesville, Virginia.
The garden is in the same location as when Thomas Jefferson (this countries third President and co-signer of our Declaration of Independence) lived here. Many of the same varieties of herbs and vegetables that were used on the estate when Jefferson resided here, are still being grown in the garden today.
The soil's red appearance that you see in the path, is from the high iron content that is present in the clay soil in this area.

A family's history of birth-dates from the late eighteenth century lives on in the middle of this old Bible, printed in 1822 by the H. C. Carey and I. Lea Company of Philadelphia. Those very old Fiddlehead fern leaves were found pressed between twenty pages throughout this Bible, probably during the early eighteenth century, to represent family occasions. The journal ends in 1868.

Seen here with its two front doors, one for men and one for women, the Friends Meeting House in Pembroke originally the Quaker Meeting House, dates back to 1706, making it the oldest building here in Pembroke. On September 6, 2006 the Friends Meeting House here in Pembroke, Massachusetts was listed in the National Register of Historic places.

The twenty foot tall Celtic cross sits high on a hill at the Cohasset Central Cemetery here in Cohasset, Massachusetts. At the site of this cross are buried the remains of approximately forty-five unidentified Irish emigrants who perished in the St. John "Famine Ship" shipwreck on October 7, 1849 off of the Cohasset coast here in Massachusetts. Most of the victims were from the Irish counties of Galway and Clare, and were heading to the United States to escape the potato famine that plagued Ireland. The mass grave was unmarked until 1914 when the Ancient Order of Hibernians placed this Celtic marker at the gravesite.
