A visit to Camp Milton Historic Preserve
 A few weekends ago we took off for the country to attend the grand opening of a new city park - Camp Milton Historic Preserve. In keeping with its Civil War history, the opening featured Civil War re-enactments, musket and cannon demonstrations and informational talks on activities of the times. Here are a couple of pictures from some of the displays:   And here are middle ds and dd observing how to work an old sewing machine, which btw, was a work of art in and of itself.  And here are dc inside the educational center. A beautiful building inside and out - looks like an old barn on the outside with a great big old front porch and is filled from floor to ceiling with the wood you see in this picture.  And here are some outside shots along some of the trails:    The camp is the mid-point on the 14.5 Rails to Trails (converted railroad corridors) greenway. Doesn't this lovely path just beg to be traveled? It was tempting but after having already been outside for a few hours in mid-90 temps, we decided to pass. But when cooler weather finally comes (it will, won't it?), we'll be back. I'm dreaming of a cool, autumn stroll through the scenery.  And here's a picture of my hot and sweaty dc after a day of walking, observing and learning!  |
