Someone told me that they weren’t overly challenged by last Friday’s Mystery Slide, so I’m tossing you another easy one, as I still need to catch up on scanning…
This slide is pretty easy, so I expect quite a bit of detail about this scene, such as
Looking forward to your responses!!

A couple of brown cows mooing, looking like they’d rather be chewing, instead of pulling a light weight cart!
Hmm…but where are they pulling from?
No idea. You might have to enlighten us.
First hint…carefully examine the buildings…
My first thought was Pennsylvania but the cows look like Texas long horn cows pulling an apple cart……I have no idea! Nice picture though!
Thank you! Looks like we have a good mystery.
I don’t know enough about cows nor the USA to answer any of these questions. 🙁
Nobody has gotten close yet…I’ll start dropping hints this evening and will reveal tomorrow, if nobody figures the answer.
I actually thought this was a bit easier than last week 🙂
Nice slide, I have no idea, looking forward to getting to know the answer
This ‘easy’ one may prove harder than I expected 🙂
FYI, I have this headache since last night trying to solve this..harder than I thought. Me & my husband studying this slide last night but we didn’t find any clues.So vague.This is quite rather out of my range of subject since I’m not into cows..:) But I will and still trying to solve this Frank.
Time for another clue….when looking at the buildings try to determine the time period, in which they would have been built in the Americas.
The answer is… Old Sturbridge Village ( https://www.osv.org ), which is a museum set in the period of the 1830s in Massachusetts. This mystery slide was trickier than I intended, as I thought that someone would recognize the building styles, which does tell me that I might not have many readers from the New England area. I’ll try to make it more accessible in next week’s image.
btw this photo was taken in 1961 or 1962.
Though I wasn’t able to solve this mystery, I was glad to know the details of this photo. I was really intrigued. But I haven’t got much time to do research. Wow, 1960’s again! This is why I love old photos, so much history! and you are right, though I love buildings & structures, I was not particularly aware of New England area..but i guess its the whole point of mystery.
That was another brilliant post Frank. This is really a great idea of you to have this things in your Blog.
thanks for making my WP time worthwhile cuz I’m learning a lot.
I really appreciate your comments on my blog. These slides that were taken by my wife’s grandfather are an interesting source of material. There are some from the 1950s too, but quality is not the same.
