 MY FIELD TRIP....
to Historic Edgefield, SC


They have a GREAT Town Square...


I learned the history of pottery making...



He even collects his own clay...


Then we left his shop....
and on to the Blacksmith...


She had a lot of pretty art work there...


This place has been around since 1917...
(that's the year my Great Grandmother was born!)


Then we went to see the carpenter...
He showed us tools used in the 1800's


He knew the history of the town really well.
And his grandfather, dad, children, and
grandchildren all know this skill...



Mom says I can start with a bar of soap!

But you want to know what this
town is also known for.....


TURKEYS


TURKEYS...


AND MORE TURKEYS....


HUGE TURKEYS!

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE !!!

I would come here again!
There's ALOT more to learn about this town...

And I missed a few pictures of other turkeys.
