When I was laying in bed this morning contemplating getting out of it I noticed that the ceiling fan was very dusty around the edges. I didn’t have time to clean it at that moment, especially since if that one was dirty, possibly the two in the kitchen and the one in the hallway were too. So when I got home this afternoon I got the step stool, filled a bucket with hot water and Top Job, and set about cleaning all the fan blades. All done!

We had to be at Hanna’s Town by 10:30am. That still gave me time to walk around and take pictures. I started my first shift with a ‘shadow’, a new volunteer, Mary Ann, and we were upstairs in the tavern. We were very busy until almost 2pm, then we went to the second shift. I was in the Lefevre house with the coffin and the tombstone, handing out candy!

I used my new back pack today!
My favorite artifact in the tavern – can you guess what it is; what it’s used for? Answer tomorrow!
There is a black caldron on the left by the coffin – filled with candy!
They were making soup over the hearth in the Lefever house.

I wish I would have had a break in my day – Louise was doing candle dipping and I would have loved to make one. It takes a long time and a lot of drips to get it perfect!

Proctor’s militia was there and put on demonstrations, and a local farmer gave hay rides.

There were toys and games, and Michael who helped with the Tea last week was a helper again today.

I like taking pictures through the older window panes.

I love this picture!

Here are pictures I took of the site today. The sun was shining and bright, and we had a lot of people come through. All the kids – and even some adults – were dressed in costume. Still a few events left in 2022 so check out the web site and come out and join us!

October 29 – Do you have a good ghost or haunted house story to relate? “Our Grandmam Eakman said the house she lived in when she was very young & married had a woman that would appear & then disappear when she spoke to her. Those that lived in the house before she did also saw the same woman but in different clothes.
