Do you enjoy exploring old homes, buildings and barns? It is almost as much fun as searching for buried treasure! There is a television program called “If walls could talk.”It gives stories of people who have purchased very old homes. They find interesting items that owners from the past have left behind. Some homes even go back to the Revolutionary War time period. Many families have called those houses, “home.” There is a good bit of mystery and intrigue as the modern day owners try to put pieces of history puzzles in place.

I’ve made my own discovery. I was born in Syracuse, N.Y. and lived there until I was married in 1967. After my marriage we moved away and our jobs led us to homes in several different states. We were living in a small town called Natalia, Texas in the early 1980’s. Our small rental house out in the country had a nice yard and an old open barn on the property. One day when I was in the barn I noticed a yellowed newspaper. I was shocked to see it was an old “Syracuse Post Standard!” Apparently another Yankee had left a paper trail!
