HI Folks,

Some day it would be nice to see reconstruction of the Bliss  house and barn
Now the area is mostly overlooked because of its remote  location and lack of
buildings to draw visitors.

Remote, yes, but in clear sight from the stone wall near the Angle.   I think
a paved path and a couple of signs pointing the way would be enough to  bring
larger numbers to the site.



         Actually there is (or at least used to be) an outine of Dr. Ben 
Franklin's
House. Steel girders created the essential frame lines. It was easy to imagine
the rest of the building when you wanted to and to see right through the 
building
when you wanted to do that.

Have FUN,

John Leo
