One of my favorite places; you always get the feeling there are new and wonderful places to travel to. This was taken with a cheap digital camera, soon after I had switched over from film.

First concert of the Canterbury Choral Society, in April 2021, after a year of being shut down due to the Covid19 crisis. It took place on 90th St outside of the Church of the Heavenly Rest in NYC. My sister was in the choir for many years before her illness(es) kept her from participating.

History: Most of the Museum’s 145 acres originally belonged to William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), long time editor of the New York Evening Post, and also a poet, lawyer, conservationist, political activist, and patron of the arts. In 1843 Bryant settled in his Roslyn home, Cedarmere, on Hempstead Harbor, adjacent to the Museum. It became an intellectual and cultural center for some of the greatest minds of the mid to late 19th century. In 1862 Bryant built a Gothic Revival board guesthouse on his Upland Farm, now the Museum property. Named for his friend and fellow poet, Jerusha Dewey, who was a frequent visitor, the cottage was restored by the Roslyn Landmark Society in 2011.
