  • Paul Revere’s many rides

    We do not have an invoice for Revere’s famous midnight ride, but he was not riding for pay. Whether or not Massachusetts paid him for his important work the night of April 18, 1775, we all remain in debt to him, and to those who answered his call. 
  • Trump’s courage to fight

  • On the Moraine Part VII
    Another feature on the McNary Farm was the orchard. It sat behind the main house, backed up to the property line. It was in a corner of the permanent pasture, but had its own fence to protect it from our imaginary cattle (remember, we had no livestock).
