Because there were only 2 kids in our group, Logan got to do a lot of things. He had a really good time.
He got to play on stilts and was able to take 8 steps before he fell over.
He made rope.
Played with old time toys.
He did some weaving.
And some wood working.
And some wood working.
The highlight of the day was the blacksmithing. Logan actually got to shape metal into a hook. But that will be it's own post.

Sounds like a very interesting place. Joe and I love to visit places like that and see how people used to live. Guess you could call us history buffs.
We love historical villages! We have been to many all over the place and never get tired of them and what a great learning experience for kids!
I am reading the books right now, and as my family is (mostly) from the Appalachia area (SE Kentucky), I'm particularly interested in the lifestyle. The books are just fascinating, and there's such a wealth of information that they just have that we have completely lost in pursuit of making money. It's incredibly sad to me. Just their knowledge of trees and what the different wood can be used for is enough to stagger the imagination. Whoever says the mountain folks are ignorant and backward simply don't have a clue.
How exciting that you were able to visit the place! It must have been an incredible experience.
My kind of place, glad you had a great time.
That sounds like loads of fun for everyone! I wanta go! lol
We have a place here in the Austin area that is on the same principal.
I always feel bad for the women---they are in costume, summer and winter. The summer heat is brutal.
I'm glad y'all had so much fun!
What a wonderful trip. Better than the class room. Actually it was a class room.
