Pelts
9 Oct
Pelts were once the backbone of the Canadian and American economies, long before Canada and America were nations. Pelts are the furry skins of small mammals. People in Europe had an insatiable thirst for pelts, for making into hats and muffs and other such things. Many of the large cities in Canada and America had their start as fur trader outposts. This photo of pelts is of Fort Stanwix, Rome, NY.
Trader’s Room

Taken from Fort Stanwix in Rome, NY. The props are done nicely. It is quite the shock to look on shelves and see nothing plastic!
Bateaux in Rome, NY
4 Oct
This is a bateaux, a flat-bottom boat used during New York’s colonial days. It was lightweight, enabling the users to carry it across the dry land; but flat-bottomed for stability in New York’s rugged streams and rivers. This reproductions sits at Fort Stanwix, in Rome, NY.
