Living History Immersion: Victorian Farmwomen’s Daily Lives

Come spend a weekend engaged in the daily activities of women living on small farms in New England in the late nineteenth century. Activities include sewing, washing, ironing, writing a letter, reading magazines, tending to sheep and chickens, making bread, butter, and shrub. Spending two days in our 1845 farmhouse, having to fetch and heat water, doing chores but in the company of other women can be a remarkable experience.
