Caesar Creek Pioneer Village Festival

 
My daughter and I visited the Caesar Creek Pioneer Village in October. The buildings and  log houses are from local families that settled in the area. They were saved from destruction and brought here to be restored so future generations could enjoy them and see how our pioneer lived. The Pioneer Festival has reenactments and volunteers dressed in clothes of the period.

  4. I love the Herb House best. These restored villages are so special and log houses are so very AMERICAN. In Tennessee, we have a restored homestead very much like this, called the Museum of Appalachia. I've had my eye on a 200 year old log cabin in our county for some time, trying to get the owners to sell it to me. It is tumbling down and needs to be saved. I hope one day they will relent, and I can move it to our property.
