    Re-creation of Thoreau’s Walden Pond cabin, a triumph of economy, where, for two years, two months, and two days he lived a life of the mind, stripped of “bawbels” and “gewgaws.” — Concord, Massachusetts
  • Photo of Walden Pond in the fall — Concord, Massachusetts
    On Fall: “Gradually from week to week the character of each tree came out, and it admired itself reflected in the smooth mirror of the lake. Each morning the manager of this gallery substituted some new picture, distinguished by more brilliant or harmonious coloring, for the old upon the walls.”
    Henry David Thoreau
    Walden, 1854
