Darwin’s Pigeons
http://darwinspigeons.com
Undertake a virtual exploration of the pigeon breeds that so captivated Darwin at this website dedicated to Darwin’s pigeons curated by pigeon fancier, breeder, and judge John Ross. Randal Keynes joins John in describing six of Darwin’s pigeon breeds at www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFVueCs3gFI. This video was filmed at the Albemarle Street, London, location of Darwin’s publisher, John Murray.
Down House
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/home-of-charles-darwin-down-house/
The home of Charles Dawin and family, now maintained by English Heritage. The house is maintained essentially as it was when the Darwins lived there. The gardens, greenhouses, and grounds have been restored to this period as well, and include presentations of several of Darwin’s experiments.
