I liked the colorful simplicity of this door...
And the welcoming garland of cornstalks and gourds on this one.
This must be the original "door to nowhere"...it is stately and elegant, but opens onto...a roof.
We enjoyed our visit with the owner of this country store in Nottingham, NH...he shared much of its history with us while we were there. The original door is still in use and continues to function as the community bulletin board.
The old green door still holds its original mail slot...worn and rusty from years of use.
The Grange hall used to be the center of social life in many small New England towns. Most, like this one, are deserted now. I wonder how many town meetings this door opened onto over the years?
The curtains were still hanging in one window of this deserted house and the dooryard was overgrown...but its timelessness spoke to me somehow.
And, finally, tired and dirty after our last camping trip of the season, it was time to head home...
Where we were happy to see our own front door waiting to welcome us back.
Happy Trails,

I love this post! I have a thing for old doors. When we built our house, we bought several old doors for different parts of the house. Thanks for sharing these great pictures.
I love all these doors, especially that "door to nowhere!" That rusty old mail slot is really something, too! There's something about old doors and old windows I just love...

Cheryl,
What a neat post. I have a love for old doors too. Looks like you had a super-scenic trip. The first door is probably my favorite too. The front of your home is gorgeous, love all the fall color.

Love the old doors! We had Indian summer in northern Michigan this week too, so beautiful to have some warm days. Laura Cottage and Broome
And I think I liked yours best!
Love old doors. I liked that old Grange hall dooryard. Thanks for sharing these!
Great post...I love all the history in those old doors...imagine the stories they could tell us!!
There is something fascinating about doors, even if they are simple and plain, I love the idea of what might be behind it.
I love old doors and you found some great ones! I particularly like the abandoned yellow house because there are still flowers blooming. :)
What great pictures. So sad that some buildings are old and no longer used.
I sure love your posts ! You have great writing skills, and sure can do great dollhouses. Where do you find them ? We don't see much of that in the Northeast area.
I am coming back as I saw a quote that I want to memorize by Dr. Seuss and I got interested in about three different things here, and my time is up. Gotta go out and get busy.
Hope you are happy as your blog !!
I enjoyed seeing the old doors. Makes me wonder about the families who had some kind of life there. I choose to believe that the homes once were filled with lots of happiness. It sounds like you are having a beautiful autumn. We are beginning to have cooler weather in the south and the leaves are showing slight color. Love it!--------Shannon
All these doors, especially that "door to nowhere!" That rusty old mail slot is really something, too! There's something about old doors and old windows I always collecting these type of shoots.
The doors in the picture of your blogs are adorable. I love the contrast the door has with its background. It makes it appealing and extremely creative.
