More looking

Yesterday we went to the emerald Village Mine tour in Little Switzerland NC. This is one of the mines that produced Feldspar for the making of Bon Ami. It was not what I was expecting and not worth the money. They say you get a mine tour. I guess you did but all it was is a hole in the rock. Not the mine itself. The did have lots of old mine equipment to see in the museum and other things too. just not what I expected. Would not do it again.

This is all the mine you get to go in the rest is flooded
 

It would seem lots of the things around here are not much to see just places to travel to. We went to Boon NC. today to go to the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum. Real nice area but not much there to see. They have moved some old cabins here to preserve them. The first one was built before the American Revolution.

This one was built in 1852 and the people raised 12 kids here.

That is the picture of the people that got this house for a wedding present in 1852

 There were 4 more but I couldn't learn much about them. The only good thing was this one is free.
