Living History is:
~ a meal cooking over
the embers of a wood fire...
~ a line of musket-firing soldiers
in bright regimentals...
~ the swish of silks and lace keeping
time with the melody of fiddle and flute...
~ the glow of candlelight on
rough hewn logs and polished pewter...
Imagine
trying to make history come alive without recreating
the sights, sounds and smells of the
past. Experiencing the technologies
of the past is what makes history
come alive.
Domestic
animals were part of everyday life in the past.
Hoof beats on the cobbled streets of town, the rumble of heavy wagon
wheels and the creak of harness, the
cackle of poultry in the yard, the sounds and smells of cow barn by lantern
light -
these were familiar to our ancestors but are seldom experienced nowadays.
In our modern world, most people have lost touch with agriculture… and thereby
lost touch with a large part of history as well. back HoofprintsInTime.com homepage next
