*happy sigh* Well I feel worlds better.
I *love* Fredonia. So much. ^_____________^
Went to the post office where people are always generally friendly and nice and things and mailed things to Megs. :) Then I stopped by at the Barker Museum for a bit, to see what their hours were, and to see if I could get into the upstairs to get a picture I want for the background image on my project for Web Interactivity (blog for that class is
here, if anyone's interested in my ramblings *g*).. Nosed around the pretty little Victorian room a few minutes, taking a few discreet photos (there's no signs saying not to, but I get all shy taking pictures ^^; idk why), and one of the older women working there walked up to say hello and things. Told her I was looking around for some inspiration on a story I was doing for a class project, centering around a few students at the Fredonia Normal School (the old college) in 1900, just before the fire.. and next thing I knew she was telling the two other people working there about it (who got all excited that I'd signed their guestbook already *giggles* it was cute), and I was led into a little room to the side fiiiiilled with old files and books and things, where one of the women (Mary *makes note to remember this*) pulled out a folio of old photographs...class pictures, dating back into the 1800s. ^____________^ We flipped through those awhile, and then she pulled out a little thing of files.. tooons of old papers from the Normal School, programs for plays and commencement and all sorts of things.. all the while, she's telling me what other sorts of things they have around, and that I'm welcome to come in anytime they're open and look around, if anyone questions me to tell them she gave me leave..
I was so overwhelmed. ^_________________^
I didn't really look through anything yet, I realised I needed my sketchbook with to take notes and things, but I think I'll go back tomorrow afternoon, when the upstairs ought to be open, and look around and immerse myself in the town a hundred years past...
