Great pics EPOCH6. Reminds me of up in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
I spent my first 37 years in Methuen, MA. Small town north of Boston that's 50 years older than the United States (inc. in 1726)
Way back when the towns land was split up between three extremely wealthy dudes.

They each spent considerable amounts of money building their respective homes and various other buildings in the town. They also separated their lands with castle walls. It's like a trip in the way back machine driving around town. Some pics here.

The town is also home to one of the largest pipe organs in the world.
