Description
Shout out to the National Park Service! Hallowell Furnace is a beautiful spot all full of history. So what does it take to run an 18th century house - inside? Who does the work? (and how glad am I to live in the. age of not just running water - but hot running water?) It's women and children working on the household jobs - find out what kind of women and children. But mostly - an update on the orphan situation.
