Day 2






We woke early (8ish, yes that's early for us as we were up processing photos until 2:30a), had a syrupy breakfast and made a b-line for the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. I am not much for overly sentimental art so it was a little much for me but it was intereting.
Next stop... Woburn, MA., which was founded by my great, great, great..... great grandfather, Deacon Edward Converse. He arrived in the U.S. in 1630 and built the first house in Woburn/Winchester, MA. After a bit of researching and leg work we found the location, the Converse Bridge and where "ye olde" Converse Mill and Mill Pond are. IWe, also, found the cemetary were several Converse's are buried (from the 1600's), Deacon Edward Converse's is the oldest headstone in the cemetary. It was a red banner day. Enjoy the documentation.
