Can I just say that Eliza did a great job researching and arranging tours for us. We started out Friday morning on a tour of the Lowry Hill area where the Hart family moved after Maud finished high school.
Our guide was a well-versed fan of Betsy Tacy - and her restored neighborhood.
The apartment building where Joe and Betsy lived after they were married - well, at least the one it was modeled on!
With Kathy, our guide.
First house Maud and Delos bought. Maud acknowledged that the Joe and Betsy scenario did not mirror real life - she met Delos long after high school - but she said that she gave Joe all the great qualities she loved in her husband.
The bay window Maud talks about after Joe and Betsy get married.
It was lovely and cool and breezy and sunny - they had had a lot of rain before we got there, so we felt pretty lucky.
There is really something wonderful about absorbing a neighborhood - a time and place that can bring stories alive for you.
More to come!!
