Pioneer Village in Minden, NB--May 10

The weather is more like March than May. It's been rainy and cold for two days now and the wind keeps blowing. On the way here I saw two pheasants, beautiful green fields dotted with cattle and horses and rain. Pioneer Village is the dream of one man. It is the story of America and how it grew. It shows man's progress since 1830. He has accumulated more than 50,000 items from every field of human endeavor, 28 buildings on 20 acres. Authentic originals arranged in their order of development with lots of information to read. It is a fully self supporting non-profit foundation. Lots of school kids here today and they did presentations for them. Very educational. It is going to take a good while to see it all. We were here for a full 3 days. It is great to go with another couple who are slightly older than ourselves with different life experiences and from a different part of the country because you learn more.
