Not the most stunning pictures of my towns land marks but the text maybe of interest. Plus the other links alongside.

The real "Grizzly Adams" is buried in Bay Patch Cemetery in Charlton, Massachusetts.

As far as other historical sites, Massachusetts is loaded with historical places. Springfield Armory, Boston, Salem, etc. etc.

We had the Chicago projects on the southside that extended for miles up 94 heading toward down town. Most of theses have been torn down now.
In the distance you can see The Sears tower which is another one of our landmarks.

Hey! That guy's not Italian!

Btw, guys, if you have a little more spare time, can you elaborate a bit more? Just like Hornet or Jon did... you know, we foreigners don't know many things about US!

Well I'm from North Dakota, so the picking is pretty slim.

Lets see you have the "Bend in the road" State Park. Real pretty there with that nice graceful curve.

We have "The Tree" Park, yep, its a tree, and a dandy!

Red River of the North, well if your not into catfish's or rolling around in the mud and muck not much to miss there. Great Catfish river though. Ok to Kayak down, but not much need to do it twice.

Itasca State Park is a couple hours from here over on the Minnesota side. Headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi and all that. Still not too exciting.

I guess nothing much to see, might as well go back to flying AH, LOTS of time to do that up here!

Fenway Park, home of the World Champion Red Sox !!!
