Absolutely beautiful pictures. Thank you for highlighting one of my favorite towns.
ReplyDeleteDurham is a real pretty town in snow, sitting on a hilltop surrounded by farmland. Nice rural flavor.
ReplyDeleteDurham is, of course, well known for it’s fair. There are also a number of historic homes. And the town has a pretty, but not pretentious, little Green. For many years there was a house at the east side of the intersection of Routes 79 and 17. The very weathered, unpainted, old house looked like it might collapse at any moment. But it stood solidly for years. It was testimony to quality materials and well practiced craftsmanship. Two weeks from now I will pass through Durham again, driving south, headed to North Madison. I look forward to seeing if the house has received any “TLC.” Before I reach the intersection, I will first stop at the excellent Italian market, Lino’s. Lino’s is another good reason to visit Durham.
ReplyDeleteSheer perfection! Thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat might the little round weatherboard structure with windows be, between the brown house and the two big trees?
ReplyDeletePretty sure it is an old ticket booth from the Durham Fair.
DeleteMy husband grew up in Durham in the Josiah Camp house, built 1754 (?), on Main Street, about a mile from the Green. The house had the original wide plank floors and the cooking fireplace with Dutch oven on the side.
