Dennison Railroad Museum 

Road Trip


What a treasure! Dennison OH was a division point on the Pennsylvania Railroad and every train that passed through stopped there. During World War II local volunteers and the Salvation Army operated a canteen that ultimately served 1.3 million servicemen from 1942 to 1946. The community rallied to preserve this historic landmark and it is now a well curated museum that appeals to all ages. We met Peyton, Riley, and Rhonda there today and had a wonderful time travel experience. We explored many aspects not only of train travel but of everyday life in America over the last hundred years. It was an opportunity to tell family stories that related to certain exhibits and reflect on certain aspects of American history. An afternoon well spent!

OUR VERY

LATEST

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park

It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
