Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum


On Thursday we went to Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum for their Hands-on History day. We got to walk around and explore an 18th and 19th century village filled with all kinds of preserved items from that time period of Pennsylvania German culture.

We got to work with sheep's wool and learn about the process of turning it into yarn.



We had to use these special "combs" to get all the knots out of the wool.

We got to go on a wagon ride through the village!

A group picture in front of the general store before we got to go explore inside.


Enjoying the beautiful weather during our lunch break!

Although there are many parts of this time period that fascinates this teacher, I am so thankful for certain modern conveniences! Thankfully, this outhouse was not the actual facility we had to use! :-)
