  3. The soldiers handsome outfits were so wasted on war-this is a nice memorial to them, and the deer adds a gentle touch to the history of the place.

  7. What a fine post for a 4th of July weekend. Lovely photos. That field looks like it hasn't changed much since 1781. Amazing.

  11. It is always so much more interesting to see historical places much as they were instead of a plaque telling you what was there.
