Here we go... Everyone seems to have a blog so I'm jumping on the Chowdah train... I'll tell you alittle about myself and get into why it’s all about New England…
I'm from Western Massachusetts. A small little town just on the border of Hampshire & Berkshire County. Where its nature farther than the eye can see. Its fresh air and quiet. Farms, small town fun.
I lived there for the first 19 years of my life. Then moved around a bit, to Florida to work at Walt Disney World then to Colorado (why? you ask, my boyfriend is from Colorado). I currently work for a history museum in Golden, CO which centralizes on Golden history alone. Golden does have some great history, like Coors and Colorado School of Mines, dating back to mid-1800s and further with Native American history. But what I like the most is my New England history, almost 600 years of documented history we live and breathe even today.
So many great things come from New England- fall colors, maple syrup, Patriots, Red Sox… hehe...
Even the tragic history of Salem Witch Trials, Boston Massacre (more like a riot) but all great things that influence us today and will live forever in history.
Though New England was not the first place founded in the 'New World' (Jamestown beat us by 13 years) I believe the Pilgrims did make the bigger impact. (No offense Virginia)
Well thats all for now... Be back soon with my first story on 'Shamrocks in New England'.
