Is there any History where you live.

Really?

Cool!

I know more people in Gettysburg then anywhere else or at least I did.

yeah every weekend we would all walk to Newstead Abbey.. Almost lived there hehe Has a few ghosts there too but not going to get into that cause still gives me goose bumps..

Oh I know how that can be.

I love this line.

Interesting answers.

So do I!

I am in the same county that my ancestors settled in during the 1600's. Plenty of history. Oh, and I'm looking at a Presidential Estate right now.

At 1600 Penn Ave?

Lots! American history. Spanish history. Russian history. Native American History. Geological history. Well, jsut too much to get into in one thread... but, lots.

Deep Roots. May I ask, are you happy with the election outcome?

Yeah, where are you?

Yes.

I live in California, the heart of the gold country and my last house before this one I had a 1800ft. deep gold mine on it and it also was the location of a stop for the pony express. Part of the original foundation was still there.

Kewlies

California coast is full of interesting tidbits. ;}

Nope, historical Presidential home. In fact the former President is still there.

NY

Got'cha

Nice Nikki!

Thanks!

Nikki, I don't know much about our history, here. I know a lot of it lies at the bottom of this lake, but does just being a heckofa beautiful area account for something?

:shaszzzz:

(The three Shastas. Mt. Shasta, Shasta Lake, Shasta Dam-far north California)

i lived in davenport iowa quite awhile. cary grant died there, i think it was him. bix biderbeck was from there. weird little city. jesse johnson the guitarist who was famous for a few minutes in the movie purple rain, grew up there. i know him. dav. is mentioned in several books ive read. and the quad cities, of which it is a part of the quad. moline, that was in a seiger song. rock island, like the rock island line. and poor bettendorf, the unfamous completes the quad. the people are pretty cool up there.

Lot of history here in the Hudson Valley. I'm descended from Henry Hudson, but that's not something that most people would really brag about if they knew his history.

EDIT to add: Lucky for me i'm also descended from French royalty. One guy was so batshit he thought he was made of glass.

I live in the original home of the Shawnee in the Delaware Water Gap.
There's so much history here it will make you puke.
There are early English Settlements that were wiped out by the Shawnee. Old forts and Revolutary War shit all over the place.
I live on Shawnee Mountian proper which is also considered to be extremly haunted.
Living here is a lot of fun.

Very Beautiful

You did kill him now did you?

Buffalo Bill died not far from here. I didn't even know he was a real person until I moved out here.

I know that area somewhat. My father grew up in Jersey and spent a lot of time in that area.

I live in the city where the game of basketball and the coat hangar were invented.

I used to drive past Noah Websters house every day to go to work.
