It was a great experience for us walking through the 1800's village, with our tour guide who was dressed to fit the scene! She taught us the whole process 'from fiber to thread' and we all had a chance to practice. In those days, children our age had to do these jobs for real! We tried on the clothes that they used to make in those days and really got a feel for colonial times!
We had a walk around the historic town, but as we had a special program we did not have time to visit the inside of buildings, stores and houses. A lot of us are interested in going back to visit and asked me to let our parents know the address!
