Yesterday we drove to Staunton to visit the Frontier Culture Museum. What a great place this is! First of all, it was a pretty warm day so we decided to rent one of their golf carts to take the self guided tour. The farmhouse above was built in 1620 in Worcester, England. It was lived in until the 1970's then was condemned. The museum took it and dismantled it and put it back together piece by piece. Same with the other buildings at the museum. Pretty amazing huh?! More to see this week!
What a fantastic looking place, reminds me of William Shakespere for some reason!
ReplyDeleteKudos for those people with vision who work hard to preserve history for their community.
ReplyDeleteI think one or two of those buildings came from Botetourt, can't remember for certain.
ReplyDeleteit may have been the 1850's american farmhouse because i heard the woman there telling nick something about eagle rock. i'll have to ask him.
DeleteMakes me wonder what it was like to live in that house.
ReplyDeleteSoon as I saw the photo in my feed, before reading any text, I thought: that looks so English!:) Very cool photo...and what an incredible amount of work to move this thing about.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place! I have not heard of it, so thank you for telling us about it. That looks like a cozy house.
ReplyDeleteoh how quaint. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethat is pretty amazing, certainly beautifully maintained and didn't they do this with the London Bridge too-dismantle and move to the States?
ReplyDeletevery cool that they preserved it.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! You've been taking some great day trips lately. This one looks fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThis actually reminds me of Wales!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that they preserve some of the very old buildings. This one looks so interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see a bit of Jolly Old England here in The States! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there since they first opened years ago. They are a bit expensive to get in the last time I checked. I liked the Irish farm house, I think it was, the doors were so small, felt like I was going in a chicken coop but it was probably real efficient.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so interesting to see how these buildings were constructed.
ReplyDeleteHow neat that they have preserved it at the museum!
ReplyDeleteInteresting color.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little surprised by the color! It's amazing they've preserved it for so long!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's amazing! It's so unique. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteAstonishing. They shipped it all that way?! Good Lord.
ReplyDeleteBTW The pink colour usually came from mixing whitewash with blood.
