I especially love their herb gardens. Learning about flax, seeing the rippler, then on to making thread and linen; how cool is that? I have never seen that before.<br /><br />What a huge farm, I don't think I've ever been to one that big. What a great learning experience of a day!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794766230330012537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-63543024635056426802009-05-19T09:23:00.000-05:002009-05-19T09:23:00.000-05:00I remember Old World Wisconsin from when I was lit...I remember Old World Wisconsin from when I was little.

I grew up in Milwaukee but I've lived in New England for the last 20+ years -- although there's a lot of heritage architecture to see out here, OWW still hits my heart and my head in special way. My husband, an 11th generation Yankee, visited it for the first time last year and agrees with me completely.emmy jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-45504275275966968652009-05-19T02:08:00.000-05:002009-05-19T02:08:00.000-05:00that looks like so much fun!that looks like so much fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-827485441526609272009-05-19T01:11:00.000-05:002009-05-19T01:11:00.000-05:00Wow!

J loved it but B kept saying, "are we going back in time again!" He's happy in the present. <br />I've often said that my dream job would be to be an interpreter at a living history museum where you get to act as though you live in that time (Williamsburg, Plimoth Plantation)<br />Looks like it was a great day!Pussnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637000869599251426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-23136673964040361062009-05-18T16:16:00.000-05:002009-05-18T16:16:00.000-05:00I just love stepping back into time at places like...I just love stepping back into time at places like this! <br />Such a great way to spend the day:)Anethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586391189475336018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-75782638049934305832009-05-18T16:06:00.000-05:002009-05-18T16:06:00.000-05:00That sounds like a really fun outing!
