Manatee Village Historical Park...a fun Saturday

Finally we had a Saturday with not much on the sched so we ventured over to the Red Barn for a while...always fun strolling and shopping. Then, as we headed back home we saw a small fair happening at the Manatee Village Historical Park...so we pulled in. Well, it was almost over, but we got to look for about an hour....we'll go back another day.

This awesome musical machine greeted us...it was soooo cool

We headed on around to see the other historical buildings..inside the General Store..

They did a great job of having some of the neatest things from "back when"

On to the old house on site...there was a woman sitting on the front porch making yarn, cool

Looked to be the Master Bedroom

Family Room

Bedroom... #2

The kitchen

And outside.............

The Out House....LOL...

He would only demo...not willing to try it out...

The church was beautiful...we'd just missed a quartet singing..bummer

One room ....just like it used to be.

The original school house...

A newspaper from 1936 and a teaching certif from 1917....wow.

The Courthouse was closed, but this was interesting

We barely got to see the boat house....

Carving out a boat...well made back then

The old tools on the wall were amazing.

We've always liked trains....

Cute Conductor!!!

We really enjoyed our short visit...we'll go back one day when we can move a little slower.
