A day to mass around. I joined the park ranger and another family to get river samples with a seine net . We pulled in many minnows but no water snakes or eels. To help drive up the cost of gas I went to the Rural Life Museum in the river town of Denton. It was small but informative. The local historic society has re-assembled portions of old houses inside the museum. It has a nice collection of photos of the many turn of the century houses in the area.
While in the museum I saw mention of the Tuckahoe Neck Friends Meeting House. I asked where it was located. Within minutes I’m standing next to the meeting house built in 1802. I was amazed that a parking lot and a business building were pushed right up to the graveyard. This meeting house was my first exposure to my roots in decades. There will be more.
