It's almost time for tours to start up again at the historic house. So today, volunteers and I were prepping the house by setting up activities, clearing away the extra stuff, and even hanging some fresh herbs from our colonial-inspired herb gardens. There's rosemary, lavender, winter savory, and sage, making the house smell so fresh. Of course, colonists wouldn't have hung herbs inside the fireplace where they would burn, more likely hanging them from the rafters. But, as we lecture from the hearth, we hung them there. There's also our new candle mold on the mantle for us to discuss nighttime and the ways colonists created light. It's going to be a great (but busy) season, especially because all my Brownies plus Sis and Bud will be coming on the tours in October.
