About Simply Ledyard...
I started blogging here in March of 2005. I moved my blogging activities to a new home about a year later, where I shared my views of real estate and other good stuff about Eastern Connecticut. In the meantime, I turned this place into a photo blog of Ledyard.
In 2010, I've decided to return to my original blogging home and blog Simply about Ledyard. Throughout the year, I'll be adding more local content as well as some real estate information. For those that stop by just for the photos, you'll find them here as well!
It's good to be home!

Was this a relative of Samuel Lester who had a small farm on Vinegar Hill Road? He was my grandfather. I use to live on Vinegar Hill Road at the top of the hill - in the 50's. We use to sled down the hill lots of fun. Now live in Alaska.

The area around Nathan Lester House is gorgeous. I love spending summer days there. When it's bright and warm it's a perfect time to admire the beauty of the field and the wildlife. The beehives and the snakes may seem so dangerous but from a safe distance they're simply amazing. The trails are convenient for biking and running, as I have spent many hours on them with friends. I have been to the celebrations that the House has offered as well and brought home homemade butter, which was very delicious and interesting to watch being made by a butter churn. All in all, this historic area is breathtaking and memorable. I suggest a visit by all.

I recently purchased an album that has a carte de visite of Nathan Lester in it. I have scanned the entire album and posted it on Flickr - for those that are interested.

My photo of the Nathan Lester house attracts lots of visitors here. Thanks for visiting! I'm not sure about Samuel Linda but it sounds possible. And Eliza, thanks for sharing!

Hi! I am so happy to find this picture (and the one Eliza submitted). Nathan was my great, great grandfather. Yes Linda, Nathan Lester and Samuel W. Lester were brothers.
