Yes as long as its synthetic hair. This wont work on human hair wigs or pieces. I did a wig for the museum and I came out great. Try to only put the hot water on the curls you want to set. I avoided getting any of the rest of the wig wet.

🤣😂🤣😂

Thank you very much!

Hmmm, I'm not sure but I would assume the two creams could be combined. We don't have access to raw milk here so I've not had the opportunity to work with it but everything I've read seems to indicate the process is the same. Wish I could offer more insight but my experience is limited to pasteurized cream.

Thank you so much! That dress was a labor of love for both of them. A couple of our volunteers can't wait to wear it for our month-long mourning exhibit in October.

We are so glad you enjoyed it! Learning about the past and how things were done is a passion of our too. We strive to be as accurate as possible and share what we learn with others. Thank you so much for watching!!

@@1820ColBenjaminStephensonHouse I also love history and look forward to more videos

Thank you, and we're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

It is a lot of fun. We have a blast! It's also a great way to teach history.

You can find it online at suppliers like Townsends (www.townsends.us/search?q=flint&type=product). It also found around creek beds.

Medicine hadn't changed much since Medieval times in Europe or later the Americans. We always say, you had a better chance of surviving an illness over what doctors would do to cure you. Some treatments were very effective such as yellow bark for the summer fevers but others, such a mercury, were not. Midwives tended to take a more natural approach to healing as opposed to medical doctors at the time. We don't start seeing major advances in medicine until the Civil War and after. An excellent book to read (if your interested) is "A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812". It's an outstanding firsthand account of a American midwife. I read it years ago but still keep it on hand for reference. It's available on Amazon (www.amazon.com/Midwifes-Tale-Martha-Ballard-1785-1812/dp/0679733760). I'm not sure what types of medicine the Chinese had but it's interesting to note the during Roman times medical treatments were somewhat more advanced then they would be during our time period...go figure. It's hard to imagine why that changed. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much! And, thanks for watching. I'm not versed on blanket coats but I'll try to contact the owner and ask them about its use.

Thank you. It took a lot longer than we'd anticipated, but we're glad to be able to share it.

The laws were quite confusing and meant to keep the slaves bound to the owners without breaking any laws. And, your not the only one who didn't know this part of our history. We've had visitors argue with us that this didn't happen in Illinois because it was a 'free' territory and state. Thank you so much for watching!

We could have put a 2-hour video together and still only scratched the surface of this history. Hopefully, viewers take this introduction to dig deeper to learn more. There were so many laws that governed slavery in Illinois....they could also be very vague and open to loose interpretation. Some of the first-hand accounts, we've found, are heartbreaking. One was printed in the local paper and detailed a freed woman's plight at trying to keep her and her children from being 'taken up' and sold south. It truly horrifying. Your words capture it perfectly, "deliberately unjust"...yes, it was. Thank you for watching!

@1820ColBenjaminStephensonHouse Your point about a two hour movie barely scratching the surface of this topic are well taken. I think it would be worthwhile to present some of those firsthand accounts in a future video.

That's a really great idea! We'll see what we can do.

We feel the same way. It's hard to hear some of it but it's important we learn it. Our goal is to bring the past to light regardless of how difficult some of it is to hear. Thank you for watching!

They got it from their farm or from another farm. Some residents had hives on their property; either ones made in nature or man made. Local mercantiles advertised for people to bring in honey or beeswax in exchange for goods or money.

You're very welcome! We prefer the audio ones, too. They take a little more work but are totally worth it. Thank you so much for watching.

They lived on a self-sufficient farm on the frontier. Everyone worked, including Mrs. Stephenson, but the servants definitely worked the hardest.

Thank you! 😊

LOL! You would have been used to it having worn layers since birth...it would have been 'normal', never knowing anything else.

It actually belongs to one of our other volunteers, and I believe he did make it, but I'm not sure of the pattern. Let me see if I can find out.

It’s a pattern put together by tailor Steve Abolt that is based on an original. He says it's very straightforward construction. The sleeves are one piece, the collar is a standup blue collar, and it has blue patch pockets. The body is one piece cut from a single blanket.

Yip, but she's warm. 🤭In all honesty, its not bad.

Wish we had summer all year round! Cold is not my favorite, but you're welcome. Thank you so much for watching.

Yes, she has.

Пожалуйста! Спасибо за просмотр и за добрые слова.

Yes, it ferments but not the same as say wine. It's more of an infusion, really. The alcohol eats the sugar, which will expel gas. The bottle either has to have holes in the cork, use an airlock, or have cloth over the opening (like we used), otherwise, it would build up.

شكراً جزيلاً 😊

😂😂😂

Layers don't necessarily mean wealth. A substantial amount of documentation shows a healthy 'used' clothing market at the time. People mended or remade clothing too. They were good a recycling clothing; stockings darned, petticoats and shifts patched, etc. The (man's) overcoat may have been an old one belonging to a spouse or family member or one purchased used. Regardless of how many layers she actually owned, in winter she probably worn them all, especially if she was working outside. Woolens were inexpensive and better made, unlike today. Our ancestors were quite ingenious and knew how to survive with what they had. This just shows one possibility for what this class of woman would have worn in winter.

This would have been nearly all the clothing she owned. She’d have a few more sets of shifts and stockings, perhaps two more aprons, and one more outer outfit- either another dress or a bodice and skirt- and that would be everything. And that would be quite a good wardrobe for a working woman.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😊

It was so cold the day we filmed, they felt pretty good. 😅

Thank you! And, well said! We feel the same. It's great discovering recipes that aren't just for cooking. There are moments when it feels like we've stepped back in time, so we totally get it. ❤️

It would definitely be a shock to the system for a lot of people...🤭

So glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!!

Agreed! We love cooking in our 1820 kitchen so much more than in a modern kitchen. Thank you for watching!

You’re welcome

We understand that...we love history too. ❤️

Thank you! 😊

Houses aren't made like them anymore. The quality and craftsmanship are wonderful.

Thank you. This was an interesting topic to research. Eric (who was our intern at the time) put this one together. He discovered some great info and did a wonderful job editing this video. So many changes from old medicines to new. Thanks so much for watching!!

Thank you! 😊

They are and super easy to make. Thank you so much for watching!!
