In this episode, we bring you more of life on the 19th century farm! Do you enjoy wrapping up in a wool blanket or slipping on a nice breathable wool coat? Those were staples for folks living in the 19th century - both civilians and soldiers. We get the details of where that wool would come from during the 19th century and today, sheep and sheep farmers! We also learn all about the period breed, merino. Merino are popular today because they produce a very soft wool. Why is it so soft? Watch to learn the answer! We want to extend our gratitude to The Henry Ford, Steve Opp and the rest of the staff at Greenfield Village for their hospitality. Plan a visit to Greenfield Village and the working Firestone Farm to see history in action...
