Exploring the 25 mile radius from my house

I’ve lived in this area longer than anywhere else in my life, and I’m still surprised at how much I DON’T know about the world directly around me. I love maps and travel, and recently calculated the 25 mile (driving) radius from my house.

I know a lot of the people and places in this circle, but there is still a LOT I don’t know. I have decided to start fixing that!

I started at the bottom east corner, just a little east from wallingford at the top of park lake mountain. There I discovered a treasure you won’t see on google maps.

The Poston School House Museum!
It’s a historic schoolhouse from the 1800s, lovingly restored into a little museum.

I am a lifetime learner, and am forever grateful to the public schools and teachers who shaped my mind.

Moving forward, I’m going to try to stay in my little 25 mile radius; to travel, explore and get to better know the place where I live–through ART!

Please share if you know any places (on or off the beaten path) that would make a good subject for an artist!

Stay tuned for more!
