A tour of Bristol, RI (pics)

Today was a beautiful day with the thermometer hitting 60 degrees. I decided to go for a walk with my camera through the center of Bristol, RI.

Bristol is the home of the nation’s oldest Fourth of July parade. It’s easy to tell the parade route through town by the markings on the street.



Bristol has many older, historic homes. Some of these are now offices, shops and restaurants, while some are still residences.

Off of the main street, there are more of these homes on smaller streets that lead you down to the water.



Many of the town buildings and churches are made out of stone

This is Linden Place. It has been turned into a museum.







Just a few from down near the water





That concludes todayâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s tour

Absolutely breathtaking! I wish I lived in a town that was so pretty!

I just love New England architecture. Those homes are beautiful.

Gorgeous pics Karen! Thanks for sharing!

Wow Karen they are some really pretty pics!

Wow that is one lovely, quaint little town! that's the kind of place I would like to live someday- I may have been born in Cleveland, but I'm really a small town girl!

Oh Karen...the area and it's homes are beautiful.

We don't have anything like that in California.
More pictures of your area please.

Oh what a pretty town - thanks for posting the pictures Karen, it's truly beautiful

There are some beautiful windows there - I love pretty windows

Did I spot a Courthouse in there? I have a collection of photos of American courthouses from towns that we have visited (comes from being a lawyer I guess )

It does look like a courthouse, doesn't it? I have always thought that. It is actually a school.

Oh wow Karen, what a gorgeous town! I just love seeing pics of places like that; the homes are breathtaking!

You have some nice houses up there yourself, Linda!

a few towns away and still probably just as beautiful!

Love the photos Karen they are superb!!! Reminds me of a town my brother lived in a few years back. I'll have to find those photos on my puter and put them up to show ya!

Gorgeous! You're making me miss New England!

I drove past this almost every day when I lived in NY...Chicago is awesome, but I miss the old Victorians!

That was a lovely tour, Karen. Thanks!
