It's time to dip candles!
Waxing Nostalgic
Saturday, November 21st

It’s candle-making time! Come join us as we braid some wicks, dip some sticks, and have a great time making candles to last us through the winter! You can even dip your own candle to take home. No reservations required. Cost is regular Village admission plus a $3 craft fee to dip candles. We hope to see you here!
Wonderful words from a visitor!
We wanted to share a lovely thank you note we received from recent visitor Inez Ferguson. She also included wonderful photos of her girls with our historical interpreter Marcela. Enjoy!
"Just wanted to let you know what a nice visit we had at Log Cabin Village this past Saturday, 10/24.
The lady in Cabin 3, Seela Cabin, was most gracious. She helped and informed without being pushy, and later when the girls decided to go back to her house, she received and worked with them "like old friends."
Your gift shop attendants were also very friendly, helpful, and not pushy.
Thanks for maintaining Log Cabin Village."
Thank YOU Ms. Ferguson!

L-R: Larry, Tricia, Cindy, Chuck, and Mike Pinhole Photography, Part Deux...
Hey! Remember last week when we told you about Donny Cox, the awesome guy with the pinhole camera? Well today he stopped back by with a couple of images from his photo session. Aren't they great? You may recognize Mr. Cox's "model" as none other than our own Michael Garrett.
Enjoy!
Membership has its privileges...
As an aside, you'll notice that Jack the Scarecrow is back to work after taking the summer off. We offered him a meal in exchange for his service, but he replied, "no thanks...I'm stuffed." I was speaking with a fantastic adult attending one of our programs this morning, when she mentioned that she and her children visit Log Cabin Village many times a year. She jokingly said, "y'all need a season pass!" She was delighted when I told her that we DID offer a family membership...and that the cost was minimal!
It occurred to me that perhaps even some of our best and most frequent guests don't realize that we do offer incredible opportunities to help support the Village with great rewards in return. And so here I am, highlighting the fabulous membership program offered by our friends' group. We hope that you'll continue to be our friend also!

Reason #24893 why working in a museum is the best gig ever...
#24893. You unexpectedly get to meet the most amazing and interesting people!
Today we were fortunate enough to have local photographic enthusiast Donny Cox visit us with his pinhole camera. He's outside taking some shots as we speak, and he's even volunteered to share some with us once they're developed!
Hopefully someday we can get a group shot of "the Village People" (our staff) using technology that would have been available during the 19th century. How appropriate!
The photos are of Mr. Cox's camera (and Mr. Cox's hands).
