Today’s Blog Post
Time Travel back to 1856
I am traveling back in time this morning. I will arrive at the date of June 27, 1856 by 9:00 AM.
I will be in the Lang Pioneer Village and walking towards the Hastie Carpenter Shop. I can’t wait.
As I swing the big wooden doors open the warm smell of the wood shavings of yesterday, I will meet the sound of buzzing bugs outside the shop. Just over the grassy area from the shop doors are some goats and some pigs. You can hear the goats getting excited as the feed pails are brought toward their pens. The pigs start to squeal as well.
The ladies that work in the very old house across from the shop will be preparing their fires for the day as well. They are cooking something good up over there… mmmm…MM!
Early in the morning is a magic time in the Village as it comes back to life again.
Oh it doesn’t always stay that quiet and idyllic. Within a half hour or so after my arrival the kids from surrounding schools start getting off their buses. Then within a few minutes I hear, “Let’s go in here… of WOW… look at all the old tools!”
And then my day really begins as a Volunteer at Lang Pioneer Village. I am Grandpa Lincoln and I work in the Hastie Carpenter Shop. Today I will be very old for a group of amazing young kids. Today I will tell story after story as their imaginations run with me… back to a time when things were very different and almost magical.
I wish you could join me… you would have a blast!
But wait – you can. You can become a volunteer and join an army of very satisfied people at Lang. If you are interested… I can get you involved in a hundred different ways… none of which are boring!
Gotta run and get into the Time Capsule – my 2007 Saturn Vue Hybrid… and away I go to 1856! Wahooo!
