- Living History to Learn Survival Skills- near the bottom of this post are some ideas for finding a living history site near you.
- Heritage Park Calgary- Living History
and working with barn animals.
-I've visited this site but just found out about the classes.
-Here is a list of classes that they offer:
Pioneer Hearth Cooking, Ox Droving, Victorian Hat Trims, Basics of Wood Stove Cooking, Draft Horse Driving, Harvest Season Baking, Blacksmithing Basics, Blacksmithing: Make a Tripod, Harvest Broom-making, Parent-Child Exploration: Wood Stove Cooking with Kids, Halloween Traditions, Parent-Child Exploration: Blacksmithing, Bread-making, Printing Holiday Cards, Pies and Pastries, Thanksgiving Side Dishes, Twined Bags: Finger Weaving, Victorian Holiday Traditions, Victorian Beauty Secrets, Classic Comfort Foods
I think this is a great way to do something different, teach yourself and your family some valuable skills that you could down the road and to have fun.
