2014-06-03-Cohasset, Hull and Scituate, MA-Peter and Olga visit
Our dear old friends Peter and Olga from Hong Kong days visited from far away Margaret River, Western Australia, near Perth. We'd stayed in touch over the years with Christmas letters but had not seen each other since 1986. Boston and Cohasset were just two stops for Peter and Olga on a long itinerary through America and Europe. We had a great couple of days together and showed our friends around the south shore of Massachusetts.

Boston Lighthouse under restoration Due to planned construction on Little Brewster Island there will be no tours of Boston Light during the 2014 season. In preperation for the 300th Anniversary of Boston Light in 2016 major rehabilitation work is planned. The nature of this construction work will make it impossible to ensure visitor safety and a positive tour experience this summer. This work will insure that the Lighthouse and Little Brewster Island in general are ready for the Tri-Centenial and are preserved for future generations.

Abandonded gun emplacements-Fort Revere, Hull Fort Revere Park is an 8-acre historic site situated on a small peninsula located in Hull, Massachusetts. It is situated on Telegraph Hill in Hull Village and houses the remains of two seacoast fortifications, a water tower with an observation deck, a military history museum and picnic facilities. It is open to the public from sunrise until sunset. With one of the most magnificent views anywhere in New England, Fort Revere was a key to protecting Boston Harbor during WW I and WW II.

"The Oaks"- Now the Roy Estate, Cohasset Harbor For decades, "The Oaks" was the oceanside playground of the Barrons and the Bancrofts, heirs to the Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal fortunes. In 2010, the 20,000-square-foot mansion with 45 rooms and surrounding properties went on sale with an asking price of $55 million. For more than a century and a half, only three families have called the 9.4-acre property home. The first was Lawrence Barrett, a 19th-century actor who played Othello opposite Edwin Booth's Iago and served as a captain in the Civil War.The second owner was Clarence Barron, a Bostonian who purchased Dow Jones & Co. for $130,000 in 1902 and is credited with transforming The Wall Street Journal into the financial journalism powerhouse it has remained through present-day. He later founded Barron's magazine and was its first editor. Barron's stepdaughter married into another prominent Boston family, the Bancrofts who led Dow Jones from the 1920s until 2007 when Rupert Murdoch took it over.
