This "museum" was more of an exhibit. They portray 4 farming communities: West Africa, Ireland, Germany, & England, helping you understand what the immigrants' lives were like before they came to America. They had people dressed in period costume, who would share about their lives. Then, there was a 2nd area which showed how all of these different cultures merged into a new frontier culture that was uniquely American.
This was basically the "poor man's Williamsburg." We decided to forego visiting the Williamsburg attraction and instead created a very interesting day of Jamestown & Yorktown. I'm falling behind, but will try to post that up tomorrow.
Sounds really interesting depicting the cultures. Did they have okra in the African?
ReplyDeleteA different concept and one all ages could grasp.
Williamsburg is too highbrow. Enjoy your time, don't stress about the BLOG
