Colonial days

This barn is one of many buildings in St. Mary's City, Md one of the most historic locations in the country.

St. Mary's City is a former colonial town that was Maryland's first colonial settlement and capital.[5] It is now a large, state-run historic area, reconstruction of the original colonial settlement, living history area and museum complex, also known as Historic St. Mary's City.
Half of the area is also the campus of the public honors college, St. Mary's College of Maryland.[6]
St. Mary's City is the historic site of the founding of the Colony of Maryland (then called the Province of Maryland).[7][8] The original settlement was also the fourth oldest permanent English settlement in the United States.[5][9]
St. Mary's City is also considered the birthplace of religious freedom in America,[10][11] with the earliest North American colonial settlement ever established with the specific mandate of being a haven for both Catholic and Protestant Christian faiths.[10][12][13]
The extra is another old car I saw today. It is a 1940 Chevy. I had the opportunity to talk to the owner for a few minutes about it. He said he had gone to school with my sisters. Nice!
