Pioneer Farms, Austin



I spent some time this weekend volunteering at Pioneer Farms here in Austin. It is a collection of very old buildings, period farm tools (and a working blacksmith shop), and some animals for the kids to visit. Great place, and neat history.
I could definitely see myself living on a small piece of land in a house this size. With my wife and no kids, that is. This farmhouse belonged to German immigrants in the 1850's. Herr and Frau Kruger lived here with their 13 kids. The daughters slept in the loft, and sons slept outside on the porch!
