Our Daughters of Utah Pioneers took a fun field trip a week or so ago to a local pioneer home and it was so fun to step back in time.
Covington pioneer home in nearby Washington, Utah |
Nicely maintained inside and out with a guide in costume. |
Ten of our more than 50 members were able to attend. |
Fun restored living room give an idea of life in those days |
Our guide knew her history and shared it with us. |
Later bathroom addition love that tub! |
We all listened intently to the guide's true stories of those days. |
Old fashion bed in small bedrooms were the norm |
Fireplaces were the only way of heating the house in those days |
Kitchen has been modernized with modern appliances. |
Life story of Robert Gardener Utah pioneer |
Cotton was grown, spung into yarn then made into clothes |
Another fireplace to keep downstairs warm. |
Kitchen cupboard had room for everything. |
So important to preserve the past and honor the pioneers. |
