The Ames Free Library
This is the Ames Free Library located in North Easton. I was an employee
for the library for about two years. This building was contructed
in 1885 by the famous architect H.H. Richardson. The library graces
a list of special places considered a National Historic Landmark.
Its butternut wood interior and its curious design make it a unique library
to visit. So I guess you could say Easton's Public Library is not
just any old place to read a book. In fact, visitors from all over
the United States and the world travel to admire the architecture of this
impressive structure. Check out the homepage of the Friends
of the Library for more information on how this institution is being
preserved.
Langwater Pond
This is the Ames Estate at Langwater Pond located on Main Street in North
Easton. This is the view looking north on Main Street during the
autumn. Obviously, it is the perfect setting for leaf peepers during
the fall foliage season!
This is the present location of the Easton Historical Society. Built
in Richardson style, the railroad station saw countless numbers of passengers
from the late nineteenth century all the way until the station closed in
the 1950s. Travelers would stop at the Easton train depot on their
way to New York City, some 200 hundred miles to our southwest. This
station is full of historical charm and contains many of the original signs
used during the turn of the century. Visit the old ticket office
and the station waiting areas where mandatory areas where set aside for
men and women!
Borderland State Park
I guess you could
say I saved one of the best places for last. This is a really cool
place you should check out. See the National
Park Service's website for more detailed information on this old English
estate which is now part of a very nice park situated in the north part
of town.
