   Judging by the finished product, we have some very talented ladies in our group!  I think this event will probably be repeated again next season.  From the feedback that I received, everyone really enjoyed their afternoon.

Historic Cold Spring Village–August 18, 2016

WOW!  BIG THANKS to Marlene, Elaine and  Lynnda for coordinating our day at this wonderful living history village.  Cold Spring Village brings to life the day-to-day activities of villagers who lived in South Jersey during the “age of homespun.” (1789-1840)    The village is set on 30 acres of shaded lanes with gardens and 26 restored historic buildings housing historically clothed interpreters, who entertained us on the lifestyles, issues, trades and crafts of that time period.  Our guide, Meagan, was fantastic.  We were able to tour at our own pace, with rest stops along the way, allowing us to cool down on this very warm day.

We toured 7 buildings before stopping for lunch at The Grange and then some of us continued to tour 4 more buildings with Meagan.   We were so impressed with our tour and many of us said we would like to return to visit the buildings that we didn’t have time to see.

OK – we couldn’t resist this photo! Smile

Our last building was the school house and as you can see, someone misbehaved and was put in the corner with the dunce cap. Smile
