On Friday afternoon Ron and I took a few minutes out of our book-selling mode and went up to see the Battles Museum of Rural Life (Girard PA).  The Yellow House was open, and we looked through the rooms and read some amazing facts about the Battles family and about Girard in the 1700’s and 1800’s.

We drove down to Charlotte Elizabeth’s White House, but it was closed for renovations this summer.  We did, however, walk through the beautiful gardens.  We both took a minute for a ‘photo shoot’ on the green park bench under a lovely old tree – but I love the photo of Ron and the bird house.  I think it’s the Ritz Carlton for Feathered Friends! 

The museums are a great treat, and there will be more about Dan Rice and the Battles family (no connection except location) later.  But if you like history, check it out online! Here’s your homework:  What did Charlotte say in her letter to the President of the United States about closing her bank???  Good luck!  Answer next week!
