his helper for an enjoyable class trip.

Discovering the Art of Candle Making 
in the 18th Century!

Letting the candles cool...

                  

What is the Tinsmith making?
Teapots, cups, pots & pie pans!

 Colonial Style!

 The houses are cozy, dark compared to our modern constant overhead lighting, 

but rich in textures and muted colours as revealed by window light. 

Welcome to a different century!

Many different types of oil lanterns.

(fuels included fish oil, castor oil, sesame oil, and whale oil.) 

 Before Lincoln, there was the Courthouse.
Since 1837.

 Eltingville Store/Print Shop

Inside the General Store! 

  "luminous and splendid"

 

 It's lunch time!

Like the American dream. Real. Authentic & Original.
