Barberville Pioneer Settlement

For a little culture fix we headed northwest for a some Country Jamboree at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement.

Cool trivia for the day was the telegram was pretty much done away with by the 70's and the last commercial telegraph was sent in 1983.

The apprentice printer (Mason) was urged to produce 1500 flyers or else no lunch, he was pedaling as fast as his little legs could go!

On the way home we stopped in at Barberville Produce where I fell in love with this unique outdoor seating collection, alas we didn't have the $3500 required to bring it on home...so it's still sitting there.
