TV Day

Getting a 1740 cordwainer's shop ready for its appearance on local access television!

Portals

Some lovely little doors from two small buildings at one of my museums:

The Proper Entrance

Normally, when you visit a lot of historic houses, you enter through the back or side door, as the front doors are not in use as visitor entrances.  That's the case with many of the houses I'm involved with.

However, we're getting visitors on a local walking tour today and so I pried open the front door of one of the houses to let them in.  I've worked here three years and that's the first time I've opened this door.  Worked like a charm, though, and it's actually really nice to open both doors up and let the breeze through sometimes.  :)

Another New Photo Series

Let's call it "Museum Doors."  I work around eight different buildings that date to before 1814.  Yup, all of the historic buildings that I interpret/work in/manage are either almost 200 years old, or much older.  And their doors - both interior & exterior - are pretty cool.  So whenever I take a good shot of a museum door from now on, I'll tag it as such so the whole series can be searchable.  Here are three from the last few weeks:
