Shady Grove


You probably did not notice, but I put this post under the tag 'Travel'. That is because normally, one would have to travel to see such a thing as this. But right here in our fair little city in the country, is the most amazing private museum you will likely see anywhere. The owners are a middle aged childless couple who like to collect things and display them. They take small groups, by appointment, through their Shady Grove museum and follow them around, unlocking and locking doors. Apart from the $5 per person, their reward is to see the looks on the faces of their guests. I had no idea there was such a thing only a few minutes drive from our own house. In the next little while I will be posting some photos of this most amazing place.
My friends in England, who frequently travel about in their own country, always have amazing photos of the history of their country. That is REAL history, and this, because it is all relatively new, is only memorabilia, but certainly conjured up some terrific memories for us 'fifty somethings' who were in the group. I suppose this post really does belong in the 'Travel' category because this what is known as Time Travel.
