I have wanted to visit ever since 2002 when I read the novel, The Year of Wonders by Geradine Brooks. It tells the story of this plague village and really brings these heroic people to life. Your post was fascinating to read and to see the photos of the different sites even made it more real. Excellent job. I will get here one day! Thank you.

I’ve always wanted to visit. The museum was kind enough to ship a Black Death soft toy to me in Canada as a joke Christmas gift for my brother! I hope to go in person one day.

Amazing to find so much history “packaged” into one small village – a real contrast to the amazing history of our capital city!
