#11. An Antiquarian Bookstore

#11.  An Antiquarian Bookstore-

We visited Argosy bookstore in New York City.  The store didn't have any new books at all, they only had out-of-print books.  The store was on several floors and it had an old elevator with an operator and scissor gate. In addition to books, the store also had really old prints of maps and posters.  We looked at the maps and prints of Connecticut made in the 1800s. 

#31- A Cemetery

#31- A cemetery-

Today we visited Riverside Cemetery in Waterbury, Connecticut.  It's a big, beautiful cemetery with dogwood trees in bloom.  We walked around and we saw several graves, one belongs to a Union solider who died from wounds he got in the Battle of Fort Wagner during the Civil War.  He lead an entire company of soldiers who all volunteered when Abraham Lincoln asked for troops, so there were a lot of heroes from Waterbury in the Civil War.
