At various times throughout the year they have special activities such as chuckwagon cooking. At Christmas, they have two evenings when the whole place is lit with luminaries and you get to wander around and learn about the the lifestyle way back when. People are playing a harpsicord and dancing in one of the homes, there's a lady weaving on a big loom in another. You see children with their slates in an actual one room schoolhouse. I would recommend it to everyone. Not just at Christmas-anytime of the year!
While we were wandering around, I saw these hombres. The one in the middle knows how to smile at the flash of the camera.
My son could take a few pointers from his big sister about smiling for the camera.Richard is pretty tolerant of me. :-) Where is my son's coat??!! It was warm that evening but a cool breeze was blowing.
Remember the one-room school house I mentioned Here's a picture of one of the students. I had a flash on my camera. They were limited to keresone lamps and candles. Those were the days!
Dancing and celebrating in one of the homes. They were have having a great time and we loved standing and watching them.
You have to place it on your list of things to do in Lubbock. It only takes a couple hours.Who knows, you may even walk away having learned something. :-)
