15 years ago, I saw the Titanic Exhibit there when it was touring the U.S.. Actual artifacts from the ship were on display and they used some of the sets from the movie "Titanic" as part of the exhibit. The Grand Staircase was beautiful! We got boarding passes as tickets and they were the actual names of passengers who were on the ship when it sank. Nobody knew if they survived until the end of the exhibit, when we checked the lists of lives lost and also survivors. I was Margaret Tobin Brown (aka Molly Brown) and my mom was Madeleine Astor. Both women survived the sinking. My mom thought it was appropriate that I was Molly Brown because my personality is rather like hers! Not sure if that's good or bad!?? Everybody was in tears at the end of the exhibit tour. ..It was one of the most moving experiences of my life.

Anyway, that's the sort of Special Exhibits they have at the Franklin Institute all the time.

Now I need to think of a good quiz question!

Pamela wrote: "Hint...only one of them was technically a New England author."

Oh...I was going to say Longfellow for Hawthorne!

Henry David Thoreau for James Fenimore Cooper...no idea for the poem, though.

CORRECT, MEG! NOW PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND NAME THE POEM ⛪⚰

[Pamela]

Think...a general burial place and a town in New York.

[Joanna]

Pamela wrote: "Meg wrote: "Washington Irving?"

CORRECT, MEG! NOW PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND NAME THE POEM ⛪⚰"

I FOUND IT!!! 'In the Churchyard at Tarrytown'...

Here lies the gentle humorist, who died
In the bright Indian Summer of his fame!
A simple stone, with but a date and name,
Marks his secluded resting-place beside
The river that he loved and glorified.
Here in the autumn of his days he came,
But the dry leaves of life were all aflame
With tints that brightened and were multiplied.
How sweet a life was his; how sweet a death!
Living, to wing with mirth the weary hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave a memory like the breath
Of summers full of sunshine and of showers,
A grief and gladness in the atmosphere.
