Driving Around Belvidere . . . and beyond
Last week I showed you the town square of Belvidere, New Jersey, including the Shoe Tree Oak.
This week I'm showing off some interesting buildings that we discovered in Belvidere as we drove around the town.
First up are The Twin Mills of Belvidere: The Major Robert Hoops and the Red Frame Mill.
The Robert Hoops Mill was built in 1790 by Hoops for felt but later converted to a gristmill. The Red Frame Mill was also a gristmill, but owned by someone else.
As a Belvidere, NJ website says:
For many years in the 1900's, the mill and the adjacent Red Frame Mill were both operating simultaneously and independently of each other as feed mills.
I love the little matching mailbox in front, to the left of the window.
At least that's what I think it is.

Hotel Belvidere was established in 1831:

We then drove down Water Street and ended up on the Riverton-Belvidere Bridge, driving over the Delaware River.
These last few photos were taken from inside the car.

We found ourselves in Riverton, Pennsylvania, a part of Lower Bethel Township, Pennsylvania.
It looked like an interesting town to explore one day, but it was getting late and we drove back to New Jersey, admiring the Delaware River as we drove over it.

We liked Belvidere so much we decided to come back another day. I'll have those photos next week!
Check out all my posts on Belvidere!

Bat Condos and Bird Apartments
The bat condo photo (above) was taken in western Pennsylvania.
The bird apartment photo (below) was taken by the Cape May Lighthouse in Cape May, New Jersey.
Both photos were taken last summer.
Ah, summer!
You can read more about bat condos here.

For some reason there is an antique car inside this room, hiding behind the counter.

Greenville Railroad Park & Museum in Pennsylvania
Here is the inside of one of the trains. How did they learn the functions of the different knobs? They look so similar.
Here is the switching control board, where one man was in charge for many years. It must have been an interesting job, as well as having great responsibility.

Greenville, Pennsylvania - looks like old times
I was in rural Greenville, Pennsylvania (not far from the Ohio border) a few months ago. These small country towns look almost unchanged in some aspects as they did many years ago.
