Hello Alastair:

Thanks for the kind words.

The cabin was the home of William Smith, who was the Captain of the 
minutemen of Lincoln, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775.  In addition, he 
was the only brother of Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, the 
second president of the USA.

For anyone interested and nearby, Abigail Adams will "meet" with Captain 
William Smith in several days on July 19th.

These re-enactments are a big hit with the foreigners from places like 
Michigan, Iowa, California, et., who visit here in summer. ;-)

The "cabin" was built in the 1690's and restored in the 1990's... Here 
are some infrared "One trick pony" shots of the house taken about three 
weeks ago:
