Even though the event was rained out I had built in some time in an otherwise full day and could investigate the remnants of this colonial era town.  I had made photos here before, many years ago, but hadn’t been back since.

Niki made it to me before I even got close to the Gould House.  I saw Russ out front.  He had been reading a book in the light of an open doorway.  The property has been under the watchful eye of his family in one way or another for many years.  My visit was brief but enjoyable.  I told him I’d be back to explore another time.  While I was there I was able to make these photos.

Among the items scattered throughout the home is this charcoal rendition of his grandfather, George Dickerman, and was made in 1868.  The dog’s name is Major.
