Pioneer Farms

We went to Pioneer Farms today for Homeschool Day. It was great. We
got there about 10:20am or so and left after 2pm when they shut down.
Got to see several homesteads with working kitchens, lots of
volunteers in costume, horses, cows, donkeys, hogs, cats. My son asked
lots of questions and got lots of answers. His favorite was the
blacksmith shop where he got to see the blacksmith heating up a knife
and shape on the anvil.

My favorite rooms were seeing the working kitchen with the woodburning
stoves, as well as the weaving room and seeing all the tools used to
make rugs from cotton (mostly) and wool, including carding brushes, hand spinners and
spinning wheels, a swift, and weaving looms.
What fun!
