It was a cloudy September afternoon with a 40% chance of rain in the forecast. It was hardly the day when one would think about taking their camera out of the closet and venturing out on a photography expedition.
But, looking for new subject matter and a new venue, Connie and I turned back the pages of history and headed to Long Island's, Old Bethpage Restoration Village.
OBRV is situated on 209 acres, near the Nassau and Suffolk County's lines, and is a living history museum depicting what a typical rural Long Island village looked like in the 1800's. The first building was moved to OBRV in 1963. Today, some 51restored homes, churches and businesses are on the site.
Join us on this pictorial tour.
Its helps to have a map reader. No GPS in the 1800's!
Follow me, this way !
The volunteer guides give the setting an historic feeling.
Connie reflects she might have done an oil painting of the barn years ago!
