| Weeks Lodge from the lower carriage house |
|
 |
|
| A gorgeous huge hydrangea was blooming below the lodge |
|
| Seeing the "Weeks Lodge" sign on the building, we assumed that it was a private inn, so after visiting the tower & taking a few pics of the grounds, we headed back down the road. But luckily we stopped & talked with a lady walking her dog, who told us that the lodge was, in fact, a museum, so back we went! |
