Not sure if I have posted this on this forum or not. If so, delete it. This is the the home of Nathan Hale, whom I'm sue most of us know from school. I took these pictures when I was there hunting for a cache on the property there. I was surprised at what I found looking around. This was late fall, and was closed up pretty much for the winter. I like these old homes and how you could get from the main house to the barns, sheds etc without having to tough the nasty new england weather.
As Nathan Hale said.
""I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" declared Captain Nathan Hale moments before the British hanged him as a spy in 1776.
One of the first of thousands of patriots who would die in the war for American independence, Hale is Connecticut's official State Hero. He was born and spent most of the short life he courageously sacrificed on this 400-acre farm.
Hale, a Yale-educated school teacher, was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Continental Army in 1775. A year later he volunteered to go behind British lines on Long Island to gather military intelligence desperately needed by General George Washington. But the British captured Hale and, when they discovered he was a spy, executed him. He was 21.
In 1776 Hale's father rebuilt the Homestead, which has changed little since. Its furnishings include collections amassed by pioneer Connecticut antiquarian George Dudley Seymour and several Hale family possessions. "
This is about 10 miles from me. We used to do our drill team horse shows here when the kids were young.
