RE: Extra Credit Questions

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I know I've seen this photo before....
Is it down South? A Civil War Offficer's home maybe? "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Outstanding, Roger - and correct. It is (was) one of Harriet Beecher Stowe's homes. Now - where is it? Joe, it is not in the south!

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Good guess, Susan, but not correct. For Joe (who asked for a "Stump the German" task):
Hint #4: The German name of the landmark is Braunschweig. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
This one's for Roger but open to all.
