RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Merriam Webster defines park as:
"- a piece of public land in or near a city that is kept free of houses and other buildings and can be used for pleasure and exercise - a large area of public land kept in its natural state to protect plants and animals sports - a field or stadium where a sport (especially baseball) is played" A very smart guess, Thomas, and I agree the place is so magnificently done that it looks like a park, but it doesn't match any park definition. |

This is a good one Eva. In the background center, there appears to be a sign that I can't read.
On the left there seems to be the frame work of a tower. And a curving trail or path. That can mean only one thing. Unfortunately I don't know what that is How about the grounds of the White House? So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

I'll go with Vicksburg National Military Park, since it looks beautiful like it did when I went there the Summer before 10th Grade.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
That is a very impressive garden! We need our Seward expert here, Linda Anderson, to discuss Seward's net worth in 1860 and where his wealth came from. If I remember correctly, he married wealth and agreed to live with his father-in-law. So is the grandeur of the garden courtesy of his wife's family?

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Since it appears to be a photograph, not a drawing, that should place it in a time period when photography was more accessible to the general public??

The tree looks of a German style, so I'll say Mary & Tad's.
