Visit Historic Pensacola Village

PENSACOLA, Fla. (WPMI) When youngsters Jacob, Kaitlin, McKinley and Kerstin visited Historic Pensacola Village, the siblings got a view of what it was like to live there 200 years ago.You have to use the bathroom in a pot! said Jacob. You have no privacy! wailed Kerstin.Ah, but that's exactly the kind of conversation Pensacola Historic Village is eager to ignite. It's a conversation that the kids carry over to the new kitchen building, a kitchen that would have been the best in town 200 years ago.People today are so accustomed to our current conveniences, noted Kimberly McGraw, one of the colonial period reenactors in this village.Last year she and her fellow villagers were eagerly awaiting the competition of their new kitchen. Now they can't wait to show visitors how it works. But first, they have to light a fire in the fireplace using flint and a metal striker.Miriam tries to ignite some jute with the devices, but strikes out. Kimberly steps in and, poof! There's a flame!Now they can concentrate on making bread, which takes two days.We ad our water to the yeast, Kimberly said, pouring warm water into a wooden bowl.The new fireplace beats last year's fire pit, and having a roof over the kitchen is a nice addition. It's all separate from the main house in case that fire gets out of control. Even young Jacob can reveal another reason why.The kitchen would heat up the house more, he said.And you don't want that to happen, because...When it gets too hot inside, the kids have to sleep outside, McKinley tagged.The parents get to sleep in the beds and the kids have to sleep on the floor or outside on the porch, said Kerstin.But the parents aren't lucky because it's a rope bed, McKinley quickly pointed out.And there are roaches, said Jacob.Back in the kitchen, veggies from the garden will become pickles. That still happens in a modern kitchen. Except, today, lives aren't depending on it.I ate a pickle! admitted Miriam.If she keeps that up, it's going to be a long, hungry winter!For tour times and ticket prices for Historic Pensacola Village in Downtown Pensacola, CLICK HERE.
