Pioneer Farms is a living history farm in Austin Texas with five themed historic areas to explore. The areas are: a tonkawa indian camp, a german emigrant farm, a texian farm, a cotton planters farm, and a rural village called sprinkle corner. It is self guided and full of history and fun things to do. The weather did actually put a damper on things, there wasn't as much going on. Even so we had a fun time and learned some great things about Texas History. It does involve a lot of walking. And I think in a few years the kids will appreciate it more, but we still had a good time.
The first place we went was a house that was full of all kinds of wagons and carriages from long ago. This one just happened to be one that Teddy Roosevelt rode in when he was in Austin.
It didn't matter which way you went
there was something fun to see.
An outdoor kitchen. Apparently womens dresses were quite the fire hazard back then so outdoor kitchens were where they cooked most of their meals.
They have special events that go on and I want to take the kids back again for one of those, but even with all the drizzle it was a good day and the kids were tired by the time we got finished.
Beans and containers.
And.....the parting shot. It's not always
exciting and fun as this picture cleary
demonstrates!
