Living History Sites

One of our families favorite things to do on vacation is visit living history sites. Actually, I would drag them all to any civil was battlefield, historical marker, or anything that is remotely related to a heritage site. But the hubby and the kids would probably mutiny on me. So we compromise and go to places like Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, where I can spend a fortune on books and find new areas of historical obsession and my kids can watch oxen turn a massive stone wheel to press apples for cider. Here are a couple interesting sites to check on for this type of thing:

Pomeroy Farms in SW Washington is a great place to get the old-fashioned farm feeling. www.pomeroyfarm.org

Another site I found with links to living history destinations: www.livinghistorysites.com.
