I loved going when I was a college student. Recently I discovered that these Wadsworths are in my family tree. So glad my ancestors appreciated beautiful art.

Nice! We've also enjoyed the Wadsworth...which makes a nice break in a trip between NY and Boston, as well. It's also hosted some interesting temporary exhibits that have made it worth a trip of its own.

Indeed I did, PortMoresby! I'm not much of a hard liquor guy, but love the smoky smell of No. 7. Reminds me of the mellowing room at the distillery! And the golden color from those customized oak barrels is beautiful!

Thanks for the comment, PHeymont! I was surprised at what a quality craft the making of Jack Daniels is. The fine attention to all details -- form harvesting their own trees and making their own charcoal, to having their own oak barrels made from wood harvested near by -- key elements to producing a unique product. It was quite fascinating to me.

Sometimes you make a plan to see something, but don't get there for a long time. And sometimes you have no plan at all, and just find something worth seeing. The latter happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I was left with time to kill in Lower...
