For this assignment I am transporting you back to2011 the 1750's... The Ingles Farm
This woman is teaching us how to make candles...
This man is showing us what it is like to write with a quill
This man is showing us how to BREAK FLAX
Some of you might remember Braden and Dalton demonstrating this HERE
Ok, guilty as charged...these photos are from 2011 when we attended Cabin Days At The Ingles Farm . The theme day caught me slacking again! When I was looking through my archives for someone "at work" I had come across these and noticed I only posted THIS POST so I thought it would be a-ok to post the people at work!

Really great display of past workers. It's fun when it's recreated that way.

Glad you went back in your archives. I enjoyed this post as well as the links.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully nostalgic images!
ReplyDeleteIn that era, I'm sure I would have enjoyed being a candlemaker.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm a librarian - I'm sure if I took pictures of my work today it may not be recognizable in a few hundred years time!!
I enjoy finding and visiting places like this.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting images, I love them all !
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I would rather have been making candles today than trying to get to grips with my new phone, being a total technophobe it was a bit eeeeeeeek! I think your 'ye olde' workers are perfect for today :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to learn history though....and I'll never judge you for cheating. I mean, using older pictures!!!
ReplyDeletehaha! you and william kendall had the same thought. :)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy seeing what life was like years ago. No problem you showing us photos from your archives. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise, these are really great!
ReplyDeleteAround Fredericksburg here in Texas, there are often reenactments for living in the past. There's a permanent fixture at the LBJ Ranch as well.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting, AND good pictures. You posted so long ago, new followers like me never saw them. I think it is good to re-post so new followers can see.The thing he is breaking flax on would make a dandy wooden reindeer with not much work.
ReplyDeleteIt appears we had the same thought! The candlemaker one is particularly eyecatching to me.
ReplyDeleteI thought of going with a blacksmith demonstrator from this summer... but there was a glitch with the shot.
I wonder if they get tired of doing these "jobs"? I would think sometimes you would just have enough of doing things the "hard way"! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese events are charming and entertaining...we've one "historical" event here in Ocala with similar offerings. It was great fun and made me realize again how fortunate I was to be living where we don't have to work 24/7 just to survive and have tools and technology that serves us so well - usually.
ReplyDeleteWho cares when they were taken, they're fab Tanya!
ReplyDeleteThere's stuff you don't see everyday! Talk about old school...
ReplyDeleteWonderful choices for theme day.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were at booker t washington for a minute, you could have fooled me on that one.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing reenactors at historic sites. It doesn't really matter when you took the photograph.
ReplyDeleteI thought this might be @ Williamsburg.
ReplyDeleteNice theme shots!

I do remember this. Wonderful to go to a museum like this and see some real action. Puts things into perspective.
ReplyDeleteA very good historical post. Must be a fun place to visit to watch the workers.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed your take on this!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I would never go back into my archives for a photo. HA !
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to see! I like living history events.
