Stone Mountain - Historical Houses

Stone Mountain has this whole historical homes area set up. It is so nice and each house is filled with authentic furnishings. They also have folks dressed up in period dress and demonstrations. Here is the plantation house. It is beautiful! The kids loved the double staircase and Kate amazed the worker lady at the top by already knowing that the men and women went up the different sides of the stairs.

The cooking house had a beautiful heirloom flower garden.

Behind the cooking house was a large fruit & veggie garden. The worker was making paper from okra, corn husk, and cotton & helped the girls make bookmarks. Here they are taking the form out of the vat!

Now they are decorating their bookmarks with flower petals, string, and old sheet music!

Now they are using a sponge to get as much water out of the paper as possible!

The whole area had big beautiful trees that would have been great for climbing, but...

This house is over 200 years old.

The girls really loved this part of Stone Mountain. Kate is still talking about the houses and about what she learned.
