Old Wooden House Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

Did it as a mystery today
its still sad

We have a lot places like that down here in Va. Especially old tobacco barns.

We have four old tobacco sticks that used to be used to hang the tobacco from and hung in the tobacco barns for the leaves to dry. The man we bought them from sold them as walking sticks; he had sanded hem and put a coat of urethane on them. They look really neat. I found and framed a picture of the leaves hanging on sticks inside a tobacco barn; it's hanging in my studio.

That sounds really cool trynfindit. It is a shame that so many of these old buildings are falling apart. There is a group of people who are trying to preserve these old buildings as they are a part of history. I live near the Booker T. Washinton federal state park and I love seeing the old ways of life. They have programs a couple of times a year that have people dress up in the 1800's and show what life was like living in a slave home.

We love the Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park in NC/TN and places like the rebuilt farm (using original buildings from around the park), the old mill, and Cades Cove, TN. We also love Colonial Williamsburg with their authentic buildings and the wonderful archaeological work they're accomplishing there. I have pictures I took of an 1850s farmhouse in NC and loved it so much I researched it and did a short genealogy on the family who lived in it. Wherever we go if I see an old tobacco barn we stop for a picture of it.

My dear nephew and his wife took his mom and 4 of her sisters there 5 or 6 times
we had such fun
1 trip we went to PA.to visit the Amish
such sweet memoirs
all the sisters are gone but me and I miss them so much

Never been in Amish country but love Williamsburg. Spent one Thanksgiving there. I love old buildings, especially if I can find out things about them.

Amish country is beautiful. My mom and her family lived in that part of Pa. I would love to visit Colonial Williamsburg too. I am only a few hours away and have never visited. I would love to go to Tennessee also. Another trip for my bucket list. I have old tobacco barns pretty much in my own backyard. I love history, as long as I don't have to have for schoolwork. Thank God I am done with US history and now I am doing Western Civilization. This is a much "funner" class. And they call me a college student. HAHAHA :)

I hated "Ancient History" when I was in HS. Now I love it. Part of it I think was the teacher. At least that's a good excuse!!

A teacher has a lot to do with how a student learns. If they don't put fun into the class, then it can be boring and not interesting for the students. Presentation is key to teaching a fun class.

When I taught I tried to get the "academic" things done before lunch and the "learning" fun things after lunch. This was for Kindergarten and first graders!

Elijah, that sounds like a good idea. When the kids are done with their lessons then they can have play time.
