The Kitchen
|
|
In the kitchen you will see such antiques as the baby high chair/stroller. Simply release the latch on the chair and you have an instant stroller. Those old timers were pretty clever. A beautiful handmade quilt adorns the north wall; the table is set with ironstone dishes; the wooden hand churn sits near a small rocker, so mother can rock baby and churn all at once. The iron cookstove is nearby for warmth, as well as cooking. The teakettle was always on, with iron pots and pans nearby. Cupboards contain bowls and crocks, flour and spices, and in one are many medicine bottles, most of them ninety percent alcohol. All manner of useful items are in this kitchen, which was the main living quarter of our fore bearers! (Remember there was no central heating, no electricity, and no running water.) |
