There is an old house, originally belonging to a man by the name of Elisha Winn, not too far from us. It was built in the early 1800's. We are studying the 1800's right now so when I heard they were having a fair I took the boys. I love old stuff so it was great fun walking through the house! There was a woman inside demonstrating some sort of weaving on a really old loom.
Outside there were civil war demonstrations.
Benjamin came with his daddy towards the end when I was ready to go. I had come earlier with the older boys. When we turned around to go get in the car, Benjamin exclaimed, "I want to see something!!!" So I took him back and he got to see some "things"!
He especially liked the "firehouse"---aka, the blacksmith shop. I enjoyed talking with the eccentric man who was building a house by himself in the country that had more outdoor porch square footage than indoor square footage! Sounds like my kinda house :) That and lots and lots of windows... and cows... and some horses.... and chickens.... and sheep... I digress...
