Name, City, Type of Resource |
Some of these farms still have fields, some have been
pared down to only the house, at some you can do hands on activities and
at others costumed interpreters perform farm chores as they used to be
done. But all give a feel of the time when most Americans lived in
small towns or rural areas instead of today's suburbs and cities.
