As the summer of 2013 fades away, this fine autumn-like Saturday presented the perfect opportunity to delve into the past that is all around us in our communities across Cecil County.  Since I was in North East and the weather was perfect, I took a brief detour to  Colonial Charlestown to roam some old  streets while studying buildings constructed long ago.  It is a fine place to contemplate our natural and built environments and the history that is all around us here as the attractive 150-acre historic district is well preserved.
