    The cider was made on a wooden press and there wasn't a sign on the general store.

    Schools were different in 1840, it had more students in one room. People rode really big bicycles.

    One thing I learned is...in the time 1840 they used a huge contraption to make a barrel of cider!
    Next they used a hand made wooden hand plow.

    I learned about the schools in 1840, they would have all the grades in one room. The farm equipment was very different from now.

    And teachers wore skirts to the breaking point of tight.
    And rich guys smoked pipes.

    What I learned at the Tunbridge Fair is in the olden days you could grow big vegetables and you couldn't tie ropes that well.
