Google Earth Community: Just for the thrill of the hunt.

What Historical Significance? (04/01/06 location near Old Saybrook, CT.) Thanks, she was a wonderful actress and that area I've read is going to be preserved as a unit not broken up or "segmented" as an important historical community. Asking on April Fools Day was also a treat I read it is creeping into use in Japan. I saw the "Grateful Dead" in Buffalo, NY in 1973 on it? (started on 3/31/73). Nearby, is where David "Lion" Gardiner first settled, a royal fort architect, was watching to see what the Dutch were up to. He later settled Gardiner's Island, NY with family granted by the King of Scotland, James, and it is the last surviving manor in America over in New York (Long Island asked for protection from the Dutch and religious freedom, under the Hartford, now Connecticut jurisdiction. Since there has been no male heir as it was, the niece of Robert David Gardiner and her husband have control I think. One of the Gardiners was a US Senator from New York, blown up aboard the USS Princeton by the cannon "Peacemaker" made in NYC, saluting Mount Vernon on the Potomac. His daughter Julia, became President Tyler's second wife shortly thereafter, they were below decks at the time. She's said to have been the prettiest First Lady, and the Civil War ceased long enough to allow her safe passage through the siege of Richmond, Virginia when the former President Tyler expired there. Gloria Swanson once remarked it might have taken the actress Vivian Leigh to play her, but maybe Katherine Hepburn could have.
