When I was a child we had a holiday for George Washington's birthday and another one for Abe Lincoln's birthday. Both were in February, and eventually they were combined into Presidents Day. I actually grew up on land that was once owned by President Washington. In honor of his now-shared holiday, I'm posting two pictures from the old mill he owned at Mount Vernon. I took these pictures quite a while back; probably around 1998. I altered them in Photoshop and posted them on one of my webpages, which back then were hosted on AOL. Eventually AOL eliminated their web hosting so I moved most of my pages to other servers. These images are on my Old Mills page, which apparently I have not revised since 2008.
How wonderful to see, I've always wanted to visit Mount Vernon! I love that second one...
ReplyDeleteI, too, remember separate holidays for Presidents Lincoln and Washington. I'm glad you were able to save your pictures of Washington's mill.
ReplyDeleteCreative work!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see that mill for myself.
