The summer interpretive season has started and I wanted to show off some of the great work that has started. The idea behind the public interpretation is to show our visitors what everyday life was like on a 1920's Glenview farm. Then to take it to the next level, invite the visitors to help us out with the work.
Today Sarah and Danielle made a full meal with the help of a number of guests to the farm. The feast included a baked ham, apple and onions dish, fresh bread and an awesome pecan pie. Outside we had a fencing project going on with Jeff that folks could lend a hand with. The best way to learn about history is to jump into it. Too often we think history is only the stuff we have been exposed to in class. What about everyday life? That is history too and in reality reflects more what our ancestors were doing than what we read about was going on in Washington or some battlefield. Just because our forefathers (for the most part) didn't make it in the books doesn't make it any less of story.
So come visit us and help out on the farm. The interpretive season will run from 10-3 everyday until the end of August.
