We have enjoyed our impromptu approach to this vacation, exploring coastal towns and stopping where something caught our eye. But Charlie did some research and planned for us to visit The Olson House where the American artist Andrew Wyeth painted some of his beautiful works. Perhaps most famous is his 1948 painting entitled
Christina's World. The Olson farmhouse and surrounding land has been registered as a national landmark. The docent for our tour of the house was very good and has inspired me to do more reading about the life of Andrew Wyeth and his paintings.
