Ninety Six National Historic Site

 


"Walk Where Battles Were Fought and Heroes Were Forged ... Settlers struggled against the harsh backcountry to survive. Cherokee Indians hunted and fought to keep their land. Two towns and a trading post were formed then abandoned to the elements. And two Revolutionary War battles claimed over 100 lives. ..."

My hubby is a bit Cherokee, so I am always say you need to find your people and learn of your history, does the man listen? Nope. I guess I will have to learn it myself ...I find family history so fun and entertaining. This is a walking path event, it was so warm the day we were there to check it all out. Really this is the only historical building I saw, you are mainly walking around a path with no other buildings, just sort of scene where it was shown ...so I will save you from the mosquito bites and heat stroke. We did visit in Sept 2021. We would walk to shade and then zoom on around the walking path. Saw only one family when we were leaving. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care.

When I look at old buildings like this, I wonder just what life must have been like back then. They had to work so much harder to just survive .

Nice log building. My first husband had a native ancestor but the relatives had different versions of what tribe.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
