Inside the building they go over the history of the Mennonites with displays. |
Inside one of the churches: Priscilla, Miriam, Hosanna, Josh and Abby. |
The biggest attraction at the museum is the windmill. Originally the mill was brought over from Europe but someone burned it down a few years back. It was rebuilt to look like the first. |
The windmill was up and running and Arthur had a good visit with the man running it. |
We missed this on previous visits so we made a point of finding it. It's a piece of the Berlin Wall. |
Abby was a bad student in the schoolhouse and drew a mean picture of the teacher! |
Arthur and Josh enjoyed the animals and barns. |
Since getting back, the guys have been busy putting up hay. |
That looks so fun! I always enjoy places like that.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they have a section of the Berlin Wall at a Mennonite museum?
ReplyDeleteWhile most of the Mennonites immigrated to America in the late 1800's,some were still in Germany through WWII. A few survived and headed over here. I'm guessing that's why anyway! Possibly a lot of them still had relatives in Berlin as well.
