An opportunity to experience the life of the early settlers. |
The Hospital
Heritage Village
We got to explore the heritage buildings by the peaceful lake. The
schoolhouse, hospital, church, blacksmith and garage were fun. We loved the old jail house! We saw the old Petrol Pumps
at the Clydesdale Garage, and sat at an 100 year old school desk in the school house and yes, we rang
the school bell!
Colonial Rooms
The colonial rooms showed time from 1875 through to 1935. The rooms were full of fascinating items such as a working gramophone and an early vacuum cleaner. We saw an old kitchen with a coal range and the Parlor a fancy name for what we now call the lounge. We had a go at using the earliest laundry equipment. An old copper for washing your clothes in and a ringer to remove the excess water.We had such an interesting time learning about the past and life as early settlers.We would do it all again.
