Pioneer Day

When I was a kid, I used to visit every plantation home and pioneer day from GA to NC. I was obsessed with being in the era of the 19th century. Now I have gotten my wish to be a part of the reenactment of these heritage days. I never imagined that my lifestyle would be an advantage when it came to being invited to be a part of these events, but I can truly thank my my father for making me learn to weave, it has been a real blessing.Here are some pictures from our latest Pioneer day, Gwinette County, GA. This was the McDaniel's Farm and Homestead. It was saved as a historical site by a member of the McDaniel's family. When you drive there you would never know that it existed from the looks of the car lots and Malls that have gone up all around it. I am glad that that 126 acres was saved. When you drive into the park, you can't even remember that you were just on Satellite Blvd. It is a place I recommend visiting sometime, they have the park and home open all the time and you can schedule tours with an appointment. this is the school teacher at pioneer school.this is the 2 girls ready for school. They actually look like they belong there!Here is the school.this was one of my classes. I was teaching how to do rush weaving on small stools.here was the resident weaver.

I love learning!
