We've had the whole family home for the first time in a while this past week... today we visited an old favorite haunt in Mumford, NY - about 50 miles from Buffalo. The restoration village is the third largest after Williamsburg and Sturbridge - much quieter too.







Donna and the girls decided to ride a helium balloon - a Civil War restoration.



I preferred to keep my feet on the ground and watch the animals.

There was a marvelous new exhibit in the Museum with a pile of 19th C. hats. I had a hard time taking pictures, but here are a few. There were many top hats:



This beaver hat was made in Rochester, NY some time after 1847



A woman's bonnet in plaited leghorn straw.



and this great hat, marked as a "fedora" from 1870.



I wore a Dobbs panama today.

Che, thanks my friend, I give that compliment return! Your feeling for style
is outstanding. I love it!

Alan, splendid photos, the Dobbs Panama fits good in this old building!
