A Beautiful Sublime Sunday At Spring Mill State Park's Pioneer Village
Today I am taking you a few steps back in time. I would like to say when life was simpler but I know their daily survival took a lot of work.
Hubby and I toured the Pioneer Village at Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana.

There is a working Grist Mill and many other houses and buildings from the 1800s. This village was put together between the 1920s and 1930s. I can only imagine what life must have been like living in a village like this.

There are stumps made into chess boards, a huge public garden with a gorgeous arched entrance and sturdy fences made of stone.
The water system for the village was amazing. It splits between the Grist Mill and the stream that runs right through the village. We explored further to find out where it comes from.

We followed a beautiful path up the hill, only to find out we went up the wrong way but it all worked out. We were able to walk back down the other side and see just where this water comes from.

We found that the water flows right out of a cave system. The it gets filtered into the stream and or to the Flume which carries the water to the Grist Mill. The Grist Mill can control when water comes down the Flume.

I will leave you with some beautiful views from the area surrounding the Pioneer Village. I was so happy to finally enjoy Spring being in the air!

Thanks!
Great post my dear!!! I love it!!
Thank you!
Glad to see that spring has finally sprung. It is awesome that the water flows from a cave system. Living a homesteaders life I think I can imagine how much work was involved since they did everything by hand. But in many ways, it was a simpler life, less stress like we have in today's society.
I can see how life would have been less stressful then and I bet people were happier too. I've seen a lack of pride in today's society, at least the type that comes from hard work and accomplishing something made from your hands.
Real nice spot to explore.
It is one of my favorites that we have been to.
Beautifully done Deb! I love the way you make a collage with your photos. You took some really nice shots too. Great post :)
Thank you so much @countrygirl!
Oh this place is so beautiful! I am definitely won't be able to live in that time since the work load itself will just kill me..It was a hard life, and I really am admired them..
I admire them too. I wonder what they would think of our modern world. My first guess is, they would be a little scared of some things.
amazing post dear with a wonderful photography
Thanks @yassinof!
Love a little reminder like this that we should slow things down a bit :-)
Yes, its always good to slow down and enjoy nature to renew yourself. :)
Congratulations. You did good on this one. 😎
Thank you! :D
You're welcome
Wow, you are right about the hard work the laborers put in, but it is so beautiful and rustic looking. I posted photos of an old, abandoned mill town way back when I first started on steemit, which is where they filmed Katniss's hometown in Hunger Games. It definitely wasn't as green and bright as your photos. Your photos are amazing!
Thank you so much! I would love to see the one you were at. I may have to look that post up. :D
