Old Sturbridge Village is a living museum located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts which recreates life in rural New England during the 1790s through 1830s. It is the largest living museum in New England, covering more than 200 acres (80 hectares). The Village includes 59 antique buildings, three water-powered mills, and a working farm. Third-person costumed interpreters demonstrate and interpret 19th-century arts, crafts, and agricultural work. The museum is popular among tourists and for educational field trips. From Wikipedia.

Since 2016 I have, on occasion, been traveling  in my little blue Yaris hatchback.  AND like every other blue 2008 Yaris it has a clear coat paint peeling problem. AND despite its looks the little bugger seems to putter along ok.

I am planning a slow drive across America. From Arizona to the tri-state area … arriving around the beginning of springish. I will be stopping at some historical, spiritual, and interesting sites. Between here and there …. it’s over 2000 miles so ……..
    !!Looking for suggestions!!

As a deeply spiritual person I like to spend a part of each day in prayer, just as I have done since I was a teen. Hopefully that will at least occasionally be at a community of faith and likely more often at a rest area on the interstate or at a park along one of the blue highways.

Dedicated on July 9, 1999 as Saratoga National Cemetery, it was the 116th National Cemetery. It was renamed to Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery on January 24, 2002, in honor of Congressman Gerald B. H. Solomon, who was known for his support of veterans’ causes, and who is interred there. During his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, he sponsored the legislation which created the Department of Veterans Affairs and secured approval for the creation of the national cemetery now named for him. He served in Congress from 1979 to 1999, and was Chairman of the powerful Rules Committee in the House at the time of his retirement. As of the end of 2005, only the first 60 acres (240,000 m2) were developed for interments. Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in the village of Schuylerville in Saratoga County, New York. Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses 351.7 acres (142.3 ha), and as of 2021 had over 23,000 interments. From Wikipedia.
