Happy 4th of July! Here's a photo of a ship that has served the Navy for over 200 years, and has been fighting for our freedom since 1797. The Constitution remains the oldest commissioned warship still afloat in the world. Although she has been through many overhauls and restorations, it's estimated that up to 15 percent of the timber on board is from the original construction. Tours are given daily at her permanent home, the former Charlestown Navy Yard.

The remains of a very old home found in the woods along Route 7, Constitution, Washington County Ohio, outside of Marietta. The owner was very gracious and gave me permission to look around the property. I didn't go inside, but looking through what were once windows, I found an abundance of broken furniture, a piano and lots of collapsing plaster.
located on the both the Piscataqua river and the Atlantic Ocean. Here's the history lesson, formerly known as Fort William and Mary was a British held munitions depot. In 1774 the New Hampshire Friends of Liberty stormed the fort and raided the munitions. The fort was renamed "Fort Constitution" in 1808. Now it shares space with the Coast Guard and visitors have to follow and stay on this stupid blue line across their parking lot to get to the fort.

Teachers, parents and members of the community visit the library of the Simonsen Ninth Grade Center for the Constitutional Rights Museum on Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, in Columbia, Mo. Students in the business management and technology academy led the presentations. The academy clusters, offered for the first time this year, allow Simonsen students to shape their education experience by selecting a designated interest area. "Their enthusiasm has gone up now that they're grouped with students in similar interest areas," Amanda Aspey said, one of the two organizers of the Constitutional Rights Museum.
