Red Window
When we stayed at the Proctor Mansion and Inn located in Wrentham, Mass I noticed a bright red window. I was told that was a sign of a safe house for slaves traveling the underground railroad.

World War Two Bunker
In Brooksville, Florida you can find a bunker that was used as a target, strafed by aerial-trainee machine gunners on B-17 Flying Fortresses in the 1940s. This was a remote spot when the bunker was built; now it’s across the street from the local Chamber of Commerce.
Reading
“The man who does not read good books is no better than the man who can’t.” – Mark Twain
Sometimes we just need to stop and admire the flowers!

Crystal Ice House
The Crystal Ice House might be mistaken for a vintage gas station, but in fact it’s something more rare: a vintage ice station. Built in 1932, it’s the lone survivor of four in Pensacola that were, according to its historical marker, “an integral part of neighborhood life during the years before household refrigeration.” Customers would drive or walk under its awning (enhanced with fake icicles) and wordlessly order ice from 100 pounds (one finger) to 12.5 pounds (five fingers) using the station’s “Hand Signals for Service” plaque as a guide.
