After visiting My Old Kentucky Home, we bid farewell to Granny and Pa who took Cousin Levi back to meet his parents. The rest of us explored Bardstown’s Pioneer Village. It is a reproduction of a colonial village, with original cabins from the county that date from 1776 to 1820. Exploring the settlement was a great opportunity to stretch our legs and soak up a little history. The boys are too young to appreciate the significance of these simple buildings, but we were touched by the simplicity and labor intensity of life 200 years ago. When one considers the technological advances in just their grandparents’ life-spans, imagine the advances the twins will see during their lifetimes.
