Before the Fair[edit | edit source]
Description[edit | edit source]
The logs were chinked with clay, the old-fashioned wooden chimney, the split shingles, the horseshoe over the door, the gourd on the brackets, all similar to a standard cabin of 1803. The old-fashioned split bottomed chair is shown at the door occupied by a great-grandmother, claiming 101 years, knitting after the fashion of one hundred years ago. Carding, spinning and weaving with old hand machines were demonstrated to visitors. Among the relics was a flint-lock gun two hundred years old which was owned by Governor Berkely, and a chair brought over in the Mayflower.
