August Daycation #2

It was time for another August Saturday daycation road trip.

Destination: Historic Huguenot Street.

This location has original stone houses built in the 1600 - 1700's. Only a few are open but they are gems. Although all were built near the same time...one is furnished as a 1600's home, another as a home from 1755 and one (that had a later addition) was set in 1908. The final home was empty inside but showed some of the bare bones of the old house. Most were still lived in as late as the 1970's.

The Abraham Hasbrouck House

The Bevier House

Okay...so now I'm checking out cemeteries everywhere!

And a second cemetery in Hurley

 And there was wildlife...a bunny, a muskrat-type of animal, 3 deer...and a bear!

 

 

A quick shot through the dirty windshield!

Tombstone Humor

I don't often wander through cemeteries but when I do it's a treat to see a humorous epitaph. Ms. Dummett seems to have been in the entertainment business. The curtain and comedy tragedy masks are generally theatre references but "It's a wrap" is more traditionally used at the end of filming.

Rest in Peace, Audrey Dummett.
