Medieval Living

As many readers know already, one of our goals is to construct a Medieval village to use as a living history museum. It would be nice to have a castle-like structure, although I think we are willing to settle for a “great hall” as the grandest structure. How and when all of this will happen is unknown . . . still waiting for the slow-turning actions of the Government and the approval of our tax exempt status – they are months behind where I would like them to be (not that they would listen to me anyway).
Anyway . . . there is a group in Lead Hill, Arkansas, just south of the Missouri border, which is building a 13th century castle . . .the old fashion way . . . one piece at a time, using strictly 13th century technology. Known as Ozark Medieval Fortress, the site has reportedly opened on May 1st of this year to visitors. This enterprise is being carried out under the direction of the same individual who began a similiar work in Burgundy, France. It sounds like an intersting project – I think I just might need to go there and visit this summer! Wanted a reason to do some travelling anyway, so this sounds like a good enough reason.
