Historical landmark

 On a recent trip, we visited the restored home of Lt. Col. J. Jones, built in the 1700's.





Lt. Col. Jones was a personal escort to Martha Washington, our first Presidents First Lady, when she visited Pennsylvania.

This home is located in Morgantown, PA. 

It's always interesting to find historical landmarks whenever we travel.

    Greetings and Salutations! Oh my, I just love history. Learning is my "favorite" thing to do. Did not know this. The building still stands. Paper can still be read. Thank you.

    I also enjoy visiting historical homes and learning about the former inhabitants. This one looks interesting.
