Last week I had talked about my love of Salem, Massachusetts- and how I don’t typically visit in October- before I shared some photos from a recent stop at the historic House of the Seven Gables.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last Fall, I found myself exploring/documenting some of the roadside oddities, morbid monuments, and unusual historic markers in and around New England- not only because I personally found them fascinating- but because it was a great way to get out of my apartment for some fresh air while […]
