I love that you got demonstrations and that they are actually making real items at most shops! Nothing more wonderful than a handmade broom :-) I think the school marm is adorable, and possibly related to her young student. Interesting to tell the story of the Scott trial with shadows. This place is high up my list!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-90700929655583824172016-09-25T06:59:04.987-04:002016-09-25T06:59:04.987-04:00Just catching up on blogs and really enjoy this wo...Just catching up on blogs and really enjoy this wonderful tour.

As an herbalist, I'm always especially interested in the apothecaries (of course!). You're right, though, about the herbs—they would not have been drying them in full sunlight. "Be not anxious" is a worthy reminder. :-) Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-67869402158835948422016-09-21T17:46:41.449-04:002016-09-21T17:46:41.449-04:00I can vouch for both the severity of the school ma...I can vouch for both the severity of the school marm as well as the studious character of the student! What a hoot! Those were huge technological advances the Dimmick family experienced in their lifetimes, yet today their lives in the most advanced days still seem so primitive. I too wondered at the painted doors and woodwork which seemed so odd given that the natural wood grain underneath the paint was so much more beautiful. The docent explained that it was a matter of showing your wealth. Anyone could have unpainted or natural wood, but it took money to paint them and it showed.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739352885582343624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-1980031582264572902016-09-21T17:24:44.902-04:002016-09-21T17:24:44.902-04:00When we visited there in the 70's, my son acqu...When we visited there in the 70's, my son acquired a case of what could be called "the runs" - probably from drinking out of a stream there. We took him to Bassett Hospital, where the declined to give him any treatment, saying they do not believe in giving antibiotics for anything! I don't know if this is still the case or not.<br /><br />We were concerned to get it cleared up because we were leaving by car to drive to Syracuse to catch a plane back to Miami - it was going to be a long day. We packed a smallish towel and a big plastic bag into his jeans, and all was well, but I'm sure he was majorly uncomfortable the whole time. Very embarrassing for a not-quite teenager!<br /><br />Virtual hugs,<br /><br />Judie judilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-20539599501649029632016-09-21T17:23:35.810-04:002016-09-21T17:23:35.810-04:00A marvelous place to explore, and you've photo...A marvelous place to explore, and you've photographed it all wonderfully.
