I agree about those tidbits. :)<br /><br />Benita, that is so neat! We've thought about having ours framed, just not sure where they'd hang, except the kitchen. I'll have to think about that as I work through my kitchen remodel. <br /><br />Flower, yes! Dan found an old scrub board under the house. Along with a lot of trash. <br /><br />Callie, that's a great find! <br /><br />Robin, we had a lot of that too.

I loved seeing and reading about them.<br /><br />Our house is too new to have any historical finds but, I found an old indian rock grinding mortor and pestle in a pile of rock that was on the property. They were used to grind acorns to flour consistency.

Thanks! <br />We found an old wagon road on our place. Trees have grown in it but it is still there and we live near the end of the Oregon Trail.

I collect flour, feed and sugar sacks, and, in fact, the cloth I put on my lap while spinning is a feed sack from my husband's family's mill from way back when.

In my whole life, we've always been the first owner of our houses. The two houses I grew up in and the two houses I've owned as an adult.

I did find a book on personal family history when we first moved in. I donated it tot he genealogy department of our county library. <br /><br />Maggie, thanks for that lead! A Tennessee origin would make sense. Maybe someday I can confirm that.<br /><br />Barb, I didn't know that but I shouldn't be surprised. Dan travels through Hershey on occasion; says the town smells wonderful. *LOL<br /><br />Renee, still, that's part of the home's history!<br /><br />Bettina, I would have enjoyed going through all that. Good idea to give some to the local museum. <br /><br />Mary, that's useful stuff! The wall papers would have been fun. We found a remnant of the horrid pink wall to wall carpeting. It was enough to cover a spot in our bedroom where the flooring was rough and splintery. <br /><br />LivingOurWay, I just hope I've passed on an appreciation of history to them. I think so though. They both seemed to enjoy it more than I did when I was their age. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-71161490377102261192010-06-03T17:53:27.932-04:002010-06-03T17:53:27.932-04:00Our house was only 8 months old when we moved in s...Our house was only 8 months old when we moved in so nothing historically interesting at my house.

But in each house (except for the brand new one) we have found something left by the previous owner.<br /><br />In TX we found some carnival glass. I don't know if it was true carnival glass or a remake...and I have no idea where it is at right now, but I'm sure it's hear somewhere.<br /><br />In this house we found a box of china tea cups with saucers. I went through it and some were broken or chipped but most are in good condition. I should see if I can figure out what they're worth...someday when I get some time.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-73468016576570438402010-06-03T09:18:10.738-04:002010-06-03T09:18:10.738-04:00I love discovering old things like your bags.

I *think* that last one may be a "Green Tag Hen Feed" sack from the Mountain City Mill Co, Chattanooga, TN- but I've been unable to find a pic online to confirm. There are books of vintage feed/etc sacks, or your local historical society may be able to help, if you are so inclined.maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409400959408658124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-88036007795306762722010-06-03T08:31:09.401-04:002010-06-03T08:31:09.401-04:00What a treasure to have found!
