Log Cabin Village is a living history museum in Fort Worth, TX, devoted to the preservation of Texas heritage. Each of the 1800s structures, furnished with authentic artifacts, provides a vivid look at life in the nineteenth century frontier. The exhibits include a water-powered gristmill, a one-room schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, an herb garden, and several log home settings. Historical interpreters depict the lifestyle of Texans in the mid to late 1800s.

Faithful blog followers may remember that we've had an ongoing service-learning partnership with Tarrant County College--Trinity River Campus for a few years now. Every year, dedicated students come tour the Village, help us preserve the cabins by raking leaves, and research and write blog entries for us. This year's entries also include creative fiction writing inspired by Village content.
We will publish these entries here for you to enjoy over the next few weeks. Thank you so much, Professor Blank and students!!!!
Today's entry is from Jazmyn Garcia. In this fictional account, she imagines what a child in the Foster household might have felt upon learning that their freed slaves were staying with the family. Enjoy!
