This is the one tag and daily challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am going to share some shots of the visit Lulu and I did to the Retch Jones Duff house Museum here in New Bedford
For this post I am going to share shots from the Downstairs portion of the house, a future post will take us upstairs and a third post with shots of the house from the outside and a few of my favorite items I saw in the house.

I have quite a few photos for this post so I may well skip providing the camera infor for some of the shots, and will for the most part let the photos do the talking

When you visit the Museum, as at the moment it is self guided tours they have you sit and watcha video of the house, which was quite interesting, this first shot is the hallway off to the right from where we watched the video

A little bit about the property
The William Rotch Jr. House, now the Rotch–Jones–Duff House and Garden Museum, is a National Historic Landmark at 396 County Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in the United States. The three families whose names are attached to it were all closely tied to the city's nineteenth-century dominance of the whaling industry. Because of this, the house is part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.
Richard Upjohn built the house in the Greek Revival architectural style for William Rotch Jr. in 1834, on a New Bedford plot Rotch had inherited from his father. It was Upjohn's first house, near the beginning of a long career. Rotch also commissioned a garden in the rear, which later owners would significantly expand. The property remained private until 1981, when it was bought by local preservationists and reopened as a historic house museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today the museum educates visitors not only about whaling but, through its gardens and associated programs for local schools, about the environment as well.

They gave a printout which described what was in each room, and they also had descriptions by many of the pieces
