Day 6 Frontier Days

Another Cold and partial rainy day I'm seeing a pattern here. ... Decide to head to Frontier Culture Museum even throughout it is outside we were hopeing that the weather would improve some. Frontier Culture in a museum that tells the story of early immigrants and their American descendants, the Museum has moved the the original country or reproduced examples of traditional rural buildings from England, Germany, Ireland, West Africa, and America. Their thought is recreating the places that the immigrants left. Then they did exhibits of how they lived here in America and how they settled. This is an actually working exhibit they try to recreate the flax cotton, vegetables, blacksmithing, etc.
I got the admit the most interesting one was the African village. The home setup was most unique. They had a building for each room. So their house looked like a village in itself. The living or family area, kitchen, bedroom, storage all separate building with a fence or half wall around kit must like a fort.
At the end of the day heading home had to stop into what was called the largest antique factory mall in america. Yes is was. Tons of antiques everywhere we walk through for 1 1/2 just a get an idea of how big it was. WOW.
Ending the day with a nice bottle of wine purchased from the winery visit. Life is good.
