Spring Houses

[Ed_DE]

Hi All, I went for a hike in the woods today and I took some pictures of these spring houses. I know the houses in the area where built in the 1700's so I'am guessing the spring houses where built around the same time. These where built near a creek bank to store perishables year long.

Is the house in the background still lived in today?

Lovely images. Keep you eyes and ears out for artifacts. There will probably be clay and crockery artifacts in that area.

No, It hasn't been lived in for a very long time.

Great. Good luck there.

I bet those were used a lot up into the turn of the century (1900's).

Very nice
Be careful where you are walking there might be some rusty nails or metal closeby

No worries... I'm up to date with my tetanus shot.

Sometimes a brisk walk in the woods really pays off.
Nice !
