[attachment 46271 Newburyport029.jpg] Been thinking of "lost" or "hidden" places of interest,whether,your a history buff,or a detectorist. The photo's I'm trying to put together,are of places,that are in right in front of our eyes everyday! We "see" them,we drive thru them,we drive over them. The things/places,I'm talking about are in every town,every state/province.Anyone can do it,just got to open your eye's,and catch them,before they are gobbled up by development or urban renewal.In this case,its a forgotten railroad underpass,and bed. Route 1A is a heavily traveled route,and travels over this thruway.I can't imagine how many people have driven over it,and don't have a clue,what they are missing,or couldn't care. I Do. [attachment 46272 Newburyport030.jpg] Can you imagine a train going thru this opening,black smoke billowing from it stack? The bed continues thru a tightly built neighborhood. Most of the bed is overgrown,or fenced off,but i traced it all the way to the Merrimack River,where it appears to follow the banks.Too nip to walk it today. Enjoy,and CHECK OUT #2 for more pictures.
 
right, there are good spots all around us, hidden in plain view. When I go to a new area I like to visit the local historical society or find old people, like Wayne or Linda, they are always friendly if you talk loudly and they will just ramble on and on about the area they grew up in, if they can remember. :D

You live in a very old area. The lower part of Michigan was settled in the 1830's and you folks have people living in houses that were standing back then.

The older I get the more I like history. Probably because I can rememeber it
 
The history is there, for sure. Alls we have to do is seek it and not let the first wall stop us.

Once I found a V nickle and a gold man's ring near the train track bed and the old cemetery of Prague, (Jefferson County) Arkansas...a direct result of good detective work.

Thanks for the pix and the story, Ron!
