We’re staying at the Lower Lake Campground in Promised Land State Park, one of Pennsylvania’s earliest state parks. Apparently Shakers bought this land from the British Crown here in the land established by William Penn for religious freedom. It seems the Shakers never settled here but sold the land to a lumber company that clear cut it. The state of Pennsylvania finally acquired the land in 1902. It’s been open to the public since 1905 and was the site of much CCC improvement during the Great Depression.
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
