#218 Games


This old checker board was sitting on a small table in the Tin Shop.

#228 Wool



We went to the Woolen Mill where they were making WOOL! This was a huge room. They gave me a strand of sheep fur as a souvenir. This is a machine used to make the wool.

#172 Black and White


Bad picture, but this was so cool. Just as I was leaving the Woolen Mill, I saw a whole room full of B&W wool!

#150 Photo


This is a sign for an 1800's photography "studio"
Tina and I would have dragged Isabelle in, but it was locked. (darn)

#261 Gold


These buckets were very rusty indeed!
They were used to transfer water from the water pump to the farm.

#9 Newspaper


These are notices supposedly made at the newspaper shop. We saw the newspaper being designed, printed, and the final copy. Of course this was the newwspaper in 1800, so they used the little word stamps to print them.

#364 Zig-Zag


We went to the cheese factory where we watched them make cheese curds. Isabelle nearly puked. (She hates cheese!)

This is the stove pipe leading from the fireplace to the huge box where the cheese circles were being cooked and flipped.
