At the top of Kaaterskill Falls

“Their Vet'rans flee before our Youth,

“ONE morning, towards the latter part of the month of March, 1841, having at that time no particular business to engage my attention, I was walking about the village of Saratoga Springs, thinking to myself where I might obtain some present employment, until the busy season should arrive. Anne, as was her usual custom, had gone over to Sandy Hill, a distance of some twenty miles, to take charge of the Culinary department at Sherrill's Coffee House, during the session of the court. Elizabeth, I think, had accompanied her. Margaret and Alonzo were with their aunt at Saratoga.

“This home is backed to the maxx!” Absolutely love this campaign.

Excalibur, unicorns and pictographs have been just some of my recent discoveries as of late.

A Great Blue Heron keeping to its nest at Landis Lake.

My excursions today led me to the Bensley House, Titman property beyond Landis Lake, and understanding the mill race from Tom’s Creek to the old grist mill.

The old grist mill at Egypt Mills.

Today, I returned to Egypt Mills to explore the farm once owned by George Nyce. I’m really in awe if the amazing condition of this federal style stone house. I was not expecting this at all. There appear to be a couple of grain silos, and the larger barn appears to be a dairy operation but I didn’t poke around long enough to be sure.
