Homestead Heritage Village

We visited this village while in Waco, Texas.  It had a restaurant, wood shop, blacksmith shop, pottery, a grist-mill, and yarn weaving.  We also watched a 20 minute video about the history of the community.  We hiked from building to building and watched the tradesman work their trade.  Aggie purchased a souvenier cup with the makings to make a snickerdoodle cake in a mug.  They do teach you the trade through workshops for a fee.  No cost to visit though.  In the wood shop, they were refurbishing some very old church pews.  I wish I had taken before and after photos of them.  They looked brand new.
