Sheep wilt be shorn
Sunday as a typical spring
day activity at the MillerCory House.
Each spring brings a new
crop of lambs. In mid May,
a new year's cycle of wool
processing begins with the
shearing of the older sheep.
The fleeces are shorn,
scoured and picked as
seasonal activities. Many
hours of preparation were
required after shearing to
make the wool ready to spin.
After it was washed, burrs
had to be removed by hand.
Then the wool had to be
carded laboriously by hand
into rolls before it could be
drawn out and twisted on the
spinning wheel.
The shearing at the
Miller-Cory Museum will be
done with hand shears using
the same tools and techniques common to the 18th
century farmer.
Members of the Colonial
cooking group will feature
the preparation of wafers, a
food customary for children
to present to their mothers
on Mothering Day in Old
England. The Miller-Cory
Museum is located at 614
Mountain Ave. and is open
from 2-5 on Sundays.
Costumed docents are on
hand to guide guests
through the house and to
demonstrate daily and seasonal farm tasks. There is a
small admission charge.
