RE: Market Friday goes to Furnace Town Historic Site

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

That place looks incredible! It's 2.5 hours from me (I'm in northern Delaware), but I'd love to take the boys. I bet they'd love it! My youngest boy, 10 years old, is at least nominally interested in weaving. He got to try it at our own living history weaving museum (Greenbank Mill) and really enjoyed it.

Furnace Town reminds me of Heritage Park in Calgary - a complete 'living re-creation of an old town'. I need to figure out a way to go.

Exactly! It is like a re-creation of a town from way back when. t is actually quite easy to get to. I came from the DC area, but, didn't have 3 young boys. :)

I had 3 older kids, big difference.

I do love the living museums as the hands-on demonstrations rather than just looking at the loom and wondering how it works. They also have classes. But, with the distance you are coming, that would be a little much.

Thank you so much for stopping in and saying hello, leaving your words behind. Have a great night, Victor!

#MarketFriday loves you!

That'd make a fun overnight trip. Too late to plan for this year, but maybe next! I'm thinking Spring Break of 2020. Hmmmmm!

They have basically the same weather as you. I went in September and usually do Spring or almost Fall. I do not like these outside places in the summer as much. Crowded but not at all when I have been.

Spring it is!
