Horne Creek Farm - DanTraveling Travel North Carolina

From the Horn Creek Website
At Horne Creek Living Historical Farm, a multi-year project is underway to reconstruct the physical environment and seasonal work cycle of an early 20th-century family farm in the North Carolina piedmont. Visitors may encounter farm animals of all but vanished breeds once kept on the Hauser Farm or savor old-fashioned apple varieties grown in Horne Creek's heritage apple orchard. You can try your hand at cutting grass with a scythe or listen to a talk on how to cook on a wood stove. Through educational programs ranging from white oak basket making workshops to an annual corn shucking frolic, Horne Creek Living Historical Farm provides a unique opportunity to learn about our rural past.

nice video. I just realized I rebuilt the pump organ that is this house for this foundation. I have never been there but will try in near future to see it. Larry Graves

That is very cool Larry,

I had an uncle who restored player pianos. I am certain pump organs must be very difficult.

I love it. I love the old farmey times.... sometimes I wish I was born to live it. I want to live the old farm life like this... but that wont ever happen =\

[dmccoig]

Probably not for me either, but we have been trying to support the local farmers market more.

Thanks for the kind words

Dan

love your historic videos about the south.

I hear you abot strip malls, that sucks when the chop down our woods to make malls. I live 15 miles north of Detroit and 30 years ago it was all beautiful woods and farm lands, now just about every forrest was been cut down,for strip malls and ect. So sad.

Keep them videos coming there great

[dmccoig]

I have been to western MI it is awesome up north by the lake

[ghostofhoward]

I love the videos you make of the south.If you ever get the chance, come down to abbeville sc and check out the history of our little town!

[dmccoig]

Thanks phillipah,

The farm is very much like my grandparents farm, it was very self sufficient!

I think sometimes how great it would be, but the people of this 100 year old farm spent about 70-90 percent of their time working on growing and preparing food.
