[AT] OT Rödja - The blacksmiths shop fireplace

[charliehill]

Nope not me.  I've never been in NY State but 3 times in my life and those 
times were just passing through.

My folks were around during the Revolution too.  My mothers name was Moore 
and her dad was born just up the road from a place called Moore's Creek 
Battleground in S/E NC.  We used to have family reunions at the 
battleground.    I forget the exact history of the Moore's creek battle but 
apparently the local boys took up the bridge boards and just left the poles 
which they didn't bother to tell the Red Coats they had greased with lard.

Charlie -

You reminded me ... have any of you ever visited the Farmer's Museum and
grounds in Cooperstown NY?

My great great great great great paternal grandfather's headstone is there
in the cemetery there. Because he was a Revolutionary War hero, the NYS
Historical Society asked permission to restore & relocate it there, and
placed a marker on his real gravesite which is about three miles from where
I live now.

Larry, when I saw the photo I was immediately reminded of visiting "Historic
Williamsburg VA" this fall.  In a couple of the buildings you can tour there
are similar fireplaces and in fact they were cooking in them when we toured.
I'd love to have a big fireplace like that (as long as I had some help
cutting the wood).

That's a wonderful European fireplace, Mattias.  It's rare in modern
construction to find a fireplace of that size and practicality in the US.
As a result, it's difficult for our children to relate to stories like
Cinderella.  It's hard to visualize that a fireplace could be large enough
to actually get inside of it to tend the fire, heat the metal, and cook the
food.  The ones we still have around us are generally in 18th century
buildings that are noted for historical importance.
