Weald & Downland Open Air Museum

What a day!
This morning we travelled to the South Downs National Park, a 45 acre area near Singleton in West Sussex. Over 50 original historic buildings have been rescued from destruction & painstakingly rebuilt and situated in environments similar to where they originally stood. Fences have been erected, flower & vegetables gardens have been planted, and out-sheds are located where they would have stood. They are furnished as appropriate to the period of the house.

This all brings to life the homes, farms, & workplaces of the south east over the past 500 years.

This entire experience reminded us of visiting an Acadian Village when we were in New Brunswick in 2010.
