Yesterday, while waiting for some laundry to dry, I took a drive out to Amherst, NH, which is a small village about 10 miles outside of Nashua. It was like stepping into the 18th century! Beautiful village! Here are some quick pics I snapped. I love this wonderful 18th century home - so elegant. It was kept up very well on the outside. The grave marker here I thought was very interesting. Very common type of marker for the 1700's. Saw this style in Boston as well - note that the angel is holding up a sword. Also inscribed across the top are the words "memento mori", which seems to mean "remember thy death".
