They have a photo of the Borden family farm in Swansea taken from the Swansea Historical Society archives. You can click this link to open only the picture itself.

Anyone else there at the time I am will most certainly be my guest one evening for dinner in that lovely restaurant made in the church....
Tracy can do dishes or maybe bus a table or two to lend a hand.... This is because I intend to steal her traveler's checks to pay for the dinners of my guests....

Despite someone a while back posting to the contrary, it is very easy to find Lizzie's Swansea farm. I think there are some photos of it my husband took on this website in the photo gallery.
I think the address is 1205 Gardner's Neck Road. You just have to watch which Gardner's Neck Road you're on. There's a second one that's called something like "New Gardner's Neck Road".
If you go to http://www.yahoomaps.com and type in that you're leaving from Fall River and going to 1205 Gardener's Neck Road in Swansea, they'll start you from like the center of Fall River and give you a little map that's highlighted with your route + printed directions ("turn right here; turn left here...). You do have to register now if you use the yahoo maps site, but they don't send you any junk or anything - it's still free.
(If the address is not right, look in Rebello.)

I have used yahoo driving directions, that is how I got to Fall River .We drove there both times straight through. I like the driving directions on this site better.
http://www.switchboard.com/
I took both sets of directions with me the first time, being afraid of getting lost two sets of directions are better than one , and I found the ones from this site easier to follow.

I prefer to rely on stopping to ask for help! I printed some driving directions once and couldn't make head or tails of them!
Thayne's X-Car had this dreadful thing that you could program an address in to and it would dare to tell you things like "turn right at the nexr intersection". If you saw a lovely coffee shop before the next intersection and turned in to that instead it would say "you have made an incorrect turn" or worst of all... "You have made a navigational error!"

Augusta, our member, wanted anyone who needed it, to be able to get a map beforehand.
She has purchased from this site, and likes it- passing it on here:

Wow! Could they BE any bigger?
Anyway, joking aside. These are wonderful pictures! You know The Hatchet accepts pictures? Maybe you could get with the Editor about some local photologue?
Thanks for these! It certainly looks like Spring!
I have re-sized them, if you don't mind.
These are mbhenty's pictures :

I still kind of like it.
And how do you know that such color contrasts are necessarily "inauthentic"? Surely there were people even then who had tastes that were off the beaten track.
