The Living History Farm

When Coleman and I went hiking the other week, we hiked from the Bathhouse to The Living History Farm (from one end to the other end) in Kings Mountain State Park. The Living History Farm at Kings Mountain State Park is a replica of a mid-nineteenth (19th) century South Carolina yeomen farm.

Yeomen Farms were run by small-scale independent landowners who worked their own land primarily using family labour. [Much in the same way the Amish farmers work, or farmers in the time period of ‘Little House on the Prairie’.] Yeomen farmers focused on subsistence farming, livestock, and self-reliance.

Enough of the side jaunt about the farmers, now back to The Living History Farm. It is an opportunity for visitors to explore an immersive look into the self-sufficiency lifestyle of the post-Revolutionary War era. It shows the period-appropriate buildings, heirloom gardens, and holds live demonstrations to illustrate how the farmers and their families lived and worked together during the post-Revolutionary War era.

These here are a fraction of the authentic replicas at The Living History Farm.

Anyone ever use one of these?
