Now on to the 1730's Scots-Irish farm at the Frontier Culture Museum.
Yesterday a friend of ours told me that his "daddy" grew up on the land where the museum is today. They still own a portion of it and the museum purchased the homestead and outbuildings. The family home was moved but some of the outbuildings remained. He didn't know if they were still there or which ones. And just like the Engish farmhouse I showed you yesterday, this one was moved from Ireland.
Yes, that is the one I remembered it was such a neat little place, I can imagine spending a bad winter in there.
ReplyDeleteJust love the thatched roof. Charming.
ReplyDeleteThat's so neat. I have my great great great grandmother's Irish whiskey shot glass, which she brought on the boat with her when she immigrated. My grandmother said that she took a shot of whiskey every night before bed. It's hand blown, and you can see a couple of tiny bubbles in it :-)
ReplyDeletethat is AWESOME!! what a great hand-me-down! i am jealous!
Deletethat thatched roof must have been a bear to maintain!
ReplyDeleteI do love these thatched roofs...is it the museum that is moving these buildings or the families, sorry I am bit thick..either way it is pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteIn the 19th and early 20th Centuries only the poor lived under thatched roofs. Now it is only the wealthy who think it is quaint and nostalgic. Fine photos. I've enjoyed this series.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought thatched roofs looked like fire hazards, but I also love the look of them...charming!
ReplyDeleteCharming indeed, gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine having roofs like that anymore, tho they have so much character.
