Really neat! If you live thousands of miles away from this outdoor living museum (as my family does), here’s the next best thing. Trained actors and actresses live their normal days–from milking the cows and meal preparation to tutoring and Scripture recitation. Readers get a vivid glimpse into an “ordinary” life.
The back pages has more information about the training involved for these museum jobs and a helpful glossary for dated words. Thumbs up from me!
