Frontier House PBS program

Frontier House was a program I watched years ago while in college. It was interesting to see how the families of modern day were placed on the frontier and had to survive by learning the old fashioned trades of milking cows, churning butter, cooking on an open fire, raising animals, eating different animals and food, having low sanitation, the same clothes, no electricity or luxuries, etc. It made me really think and I am still not sure I'd be happy or surviving doing that. It is almost like the amish friends that we have. When we went to visit we went to the garden to pick the veggies and they were OH so fresh! We cooked forever and ate slowly enjoying the conversation. They were very thin and frail looking but deceivingly strong. The laundry was hung out to dry and the necessities were what they had.
