| Introduction | Log Cabin Village aspires to build connections to 19th century Texas by providing educational opportunities and sensory experiences that are engaging, accurate, and as authentic as possible. Throughout the Village, the interpreters bring history to life. A skilled spinner twists natural wool into thread for knitting and weaving. At the gristmill, the miller grinds shelled corn into meal as the water wheel creaks and moans. Candles on the cooling rack and cauldrons of wax lead to visions of living by candle light. The echo of the blacksmith hammering hot metal as he shapes nails may be heard on some mornings. Visitors may sit on the hard wooden benches in the one-room school house and imagine doing sums on slates with the dim light of lanterns. It is these sensory experiences, along with the beautiful natural surroundings, that make Log Cabin Village a memorable and unique place to learn about our past. |
