Fort Harrodsburg

As promised, these are from our visit to the fort in Harrodsburg, which was founded in 1774 and is the oldest European settlement west of the Alleghenies.
They have a cane break of Kentucky River Cane, which Lydia and Gyunay loved walking (running) through multiple times.


At the blacksmith, the kids got to pump the bellows:



Lydia went last, and consequently had the longest turn.  The blacksmith gave her the hook he made while she was pumping.  

And here's the tree again.  First, we played on the tree.  Then, we explored the fort and fed the sheep.  After walking through the cemetery, we went back to the tree.  Then we visited the mansion museum and the cabin where Abe Lincoln's parents got married, and we finished up the visit back on the tree.  The weather was fabulous, and we had a great day!
