We were shown unique architectural features, including the bulls eye glass above the doorway and the bowed roof.
Inside, we saw furniture, art and many items from the 1700's.
The paint is made from buttermilk!!!!
These are called "Good Morning Stairs" since people would greet one another as they met at the landing from the hallways on both sides of the house. A symmetrically designed house was very common.
A leather bucket hung was kept on hand to put out fires in the house. 
A tavern sign from the 1800's. 
The kitchen hearth including a dutch oven with piping hot oatmeal for us to enjoy!!! Perfect for this cold crisp morning.
Debra is showing us an apple roaster.
A toaster......
Debra is showing how to use typical household items including a mortar and pestle for grinding up spices and herbs. 
Mr. Duncan showed how the differences in pewter and silver designs. We were shown three types of chair and learned they were named after the royalty of England prior to the Revolutionary War but named after the artisan (Chippendale) following Independence. 
A table, chair and storage......practical use of space.
A final treat was seeing a demonstration of Mr. Duncan using a flint lock rifle......Boom!
Thank you, Duncans, for giving us a first-hand look at colonial life!
