1838 Sturbridge
Today we ventured into the world of time travel and explored 1838 Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. It was interesting, informative and fun. We saw the old Friends Meeting House and the parsonage. I pictured living there with my parents and sisters. Not sure that I would have liked sleeping in the attic or the amount of work it took to do just about everything. We watched demonstrations of spinning wool, shooting a musket, making tinware, saw examples of clothing and house goods. Although Sturbridge Village was beautiful and interesting, I'm grateful to be living in the 21st century.
This is the Publick House where we are currently staying, built in 1771. Yesterday's blog entry tells a bit more about the Publick House. There is a link there to the website for the Inn so you can read more about it.
Yes, there is color in Massachusetts, it's just a little harder to find than it should be this time of the year. Isn't this tree beautiful? There is more than just this one but you can tell by the background that this one, at least, is standing alone. Over the next two weeks, we will be on the hunt for the elusive Fall colors of New England. It should be fun!
