It’s easy to step back in time at the Swan Valley Historical Museum. <\/p>\n

On August 25, 2013 the annual Harvest Festival provided visitors with the perfect opportunity to take a ride down memory lane – quite literally, in the 1916 Model T.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Throughout the afternoon, people of all ages took their turn hopping up into the Model T for a ride back in time. <\/p>\n

The little trip followed the path past the general store, blacksmith shop, churches, school and trappers cabin as well as other historic buildings and antique machinery.<\/p>\n

Fresh homemade bread quickly disappeared by the slice and by the loaf soon after it emerged from the clay ovens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/br>Artisans demonstrated their traditional crafts, answered questions and explained the finer points of their technique. <\/p>\n

They even took the time to help some of the visitors try their hand.
\n<\/br>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/br>Some things never change, like the sound of kids calling for ice cream and soda. <\/p>\n

Luckily the general store was serving up these refreshing treats, making it a popular place to beat the heat of the hot and sunny summer day.
\n<\/br><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/br>It was a real inspiration to see several generations working together to run the old machinery. <\/p>\n

With stories told and skills passed down, this part of our history can be appreciated by generations to come.
