Map of the Pioneer Village
South End of the Village
This is the view of the south end of the village from near the grist mill and upper residence. From left to right are….the distillery, tavern and pottery shop. According to the map the road started veering toward the right shortly before this point and made it’s way up the hill to the right of the pottery shop. Wherever it headed…it must have been a rough and steep climb.
The Village Tavern
A close view of the tavern from in front of the distillery looking to
the southeast. A place for weary travelers to refresh themselves and sleep. A common place also for some of the townsmen to spend an evening. The original tavern was
built in 1824, this reproduction was
probably built in the 1930′s.
Another View of the Tavern
Looking southwest from the rear of the
distillery. The Pottery shop is to the right behind the tavern.
Another View of the Tavern
This view of the tavern shows the road going north through the village and the distillery and mill in the distance.
The Village Tavern - Interior
An interior view of the tavern just a bit inside the door and looking to the northeast. This was my first time in this building in nearly fifty years of visiting this place. What a rough way of life in the early 1800′s!
The Pottery Cabin
This view of the log cabin was taken from the southeast corner of the tavern and is looking west-southwest. This cabin was moved here, I don’t know where it was originally.
Another of the Pottery Cabin
I returned to this cabin hoping to get an interior shot but they were closing and I didn’t wish to delay their doing so. Looking southwest.
The Distillery
The distillery from in front of the tavern looking to the northeast, the grist mill is to the left. The Montgomery brothers were the second owners of the village and they built the distillery in the 1820′s.
Another View of the Distillery
A view of the distillery looking southeast, the tavern is to the right.
The North End of the Distillery
Looking south-southwest at the distillery. The pottery shop is behind it to the right and the chimney of the tavern can be seen to the left.
