Today I am taking you a few steps back in time. I would like to say when life was simpler but I know their daily survival took a lot of work.
Hubby and I toured the Pioneer Village at Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana.
There is a working Grist Mill and many other houses and buildings from the 1800s. This village was put together between the 1920s and 1930s. I can only imagine what life must have been like living in a village like this.
There are stumps made into chess boards, a huge public garden with a gorgeous arched entrance and sturdy fences made of stone.
The water system for the village was amazing. It splits between the Grist Mill and the stream that runs right through the village. We explored further to find out where it comes from.
We followed a beautiful path up the hill, only to find out we went up the wrong way but it all worked out. We were able to walk back down the other side and see just where this water comes from.
We found that the water flows right out of a cave system. The it gets filtered into the stream and or to the Flume which carries the water to the Grist Mill. The Grist Mill can control when water comes down the Flume.
I will leave you with some beautiful views from the area surrounding the Pioneer Village. I was so happy to finally enjoy Spring being in the air!
