This weekend we went to
Willowbrook Farm Museum in
Newfield Maine. It was their Old Home Days celebration and my dad was the blacksmith for the event. The
museum is an old village set up to tour through. Each building is as it was years ago, now filled with antiques from the era, a history lesson in
itself.



A
shoeing anvil in the
blacksmith's shop.

...and this contraption held the horses still while they got
shod.

A blacksmith made many other tools
ect, as well as horseshoes.

Most villages had a blacksmith shop........

........and a mill.....

.....and a carriage house & printing shop.



We visited the old bandstand, where the
Newfield band used to play.

A weekend full of history when, everyday must have been an adventure. If you ever have a free weekend stop by
Willowbrook for a walk through time.
