After driving from Pennsylvania, we met Eric and Carston at the Sturbridge Village for a great day. We had lunch at the restaurant that is part of the village....
The kids couldn't wait to run on to see all of the cool things. The house in the foreground was being built the last time that I was there. They were splitting logs into siding by hand with a wedge and a sledge.
Carson, Emma,. and Jason outside of the the Meeting House.
This village is a working colonial village with people who work and keep the village going. They dress in period costume and are wonderful to talk to and observe.
This is the Community Church for the village. It is a beautiful building.
More young people who work in the village.
Outside of the Church and next to the graveyard.
Grandpa and kids trying to play with the barrel rings. They all had a great time....

This gentleman was throwing clay. Very interesting.
Glazed ceramics
Tool used to grind glaze for pots and cups...
Look at all of those pieces.
This tool is used to work the clay to soften and make smooth. They are doing a great job, don't you think?
A very scenic look at the pastures and entrance to the farm.
Garden at the farm.
Two calves that were born 2 week earlier. They are out for some exercise and training to lead.
Back from a trip to the orchard.

Carston was such a good guide for Emma and Jason. He has spent may days and hours at this village for years.
Geese enjoying the shade. It was really hot on this day.
Churning butter. It must be done....
At the blacksmith. They were making horseshoes and tools.
