For being in our own backyard, the AAS is a "gem of gems." American history abounds in so many ways and today you can entertain the AAS in the confines of your home or office.
"The American Antiquarian Society is funded part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency that supports public programs in the arts, humanities and sciences."
The ambience inside is like a visit to Thomas Jefferson's
Monticello.State-of-the- Everything affords the "latest and greatest." There is really nothing in existence save for the
Smithsonian that equals what we have at hand:
Mecca! And all of the librarians are so helpful Lauren, Elizabeth, Andrew and others make me always feel at home... always.
The facilities are spacious; research is in-depth. New books versus priceless documents abound at the AAS.
Tomorrow's plans are for a 3:00 PM visit to
recharge my historical batteries! Located on Park Avenue at Salisbury Street, parking is free.. actually everything is free. It is
your library!
