About this museum:
Enjoy a relaxing visit into 19th century village life. Located in the heart of the Pocomoke Forest, Furnace Town is home to Maryland's only bog ore iron furnace. The furnace is situated 5 miles north of Snow Hill on the banks of Nassawango Creek. Furnace Town and its Nassawango Iron Furnace (recognized by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers as a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark) comprise an educational site of local archaeological and historical interest. The furnace and buildings are being restored, preserved and interpreted by Furnace Town Foundation, Inc.
How to Participate:
1. Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, Clothing, Plant or Animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo or an art auction. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for a service. I once went to a nail salon.
2. Take pictures! Be creative (or not)
3. Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
4. Post the picture(s)
5. Don’t forget to hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I didn't see any furnaces in the museum. snicker
My how times have changed ! I have seen some very beautiful woven wall art that was made on looms. For a while I toyed with the idea of getting one.... of a sorts. Of course THAT never happened. 😉
I did a Market Friday..... SURPRISE !! Here is my linkamadoo....

You didn't see the furnace? You need to look harder or perhaps look next week when I put the furnace. I have seen some beautiful woman art also and it's an incredible talent that I clearly do not have. I think that you should get one because I think that this is something that you would excel at. because, you know you don't have enough food around time right now. LOL
I am totally impressed! You did a market Friday and even left the whatchamacallit?! Thank you so much for stopping by and dropping the link.
#MarketFriday loves you!

I would like to say I will do all that stuff if I live to retire, but ya know, if you don't work, all that stuff takes money. Ugh ! Why is it like that ??? I'm going to check my power ball ticket soon. I may have been a millionaire for a couple of days now and didn't know it. If I am, I am going to be miffed that I worked those mandatory 5 Saturday hours this morning....LOLOLOL
Market Friday was VERY good to me. It is sitting worth more than any post I ever posted ! What ?? This has been a totally awesome week over on my account.
I'm energized !
Hehe! MarketFriday was good to me too this week! It must just be a great week, El! You have done excellent!
I think I would check that lottery ticket and then buy another this week!
If you live to retire? OMG! Of course you will. Who else will spend all that steemit money you are making? :)
I am energized too!!! Let's do this steemit thing!
Let's do !
I have a neat new post tonight. You will love it.
You were right!! Best post ever!

I think I dreamed I read this post last night lol. Still a bit fuzzy. I find it funny and strange how we take so much for granted. There is a lot of effort that goes into making a simple fabric, yet we have gotten so used to technology, we dont even think about it anymore. Not that I am complaining mind you. I always splurge on a few new $4 Fruit of the Loom tees every year or three :D
Im am working my fingers to the bone on mine. I am just trying to double dip here you know :o
Oh, you really are a double dipper! You aren't dreaming. You did read it last night! I thought. I do love the living history museums. One cannot beat the hands-on demonstration offered up. I would love to learn how to weave. I find it interesting, although admittedly, it would be a lot of work spinning the theads to do it.
Yikes!
Talk about working the fingers to the bone! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words behind. Always appreciated!

Thanks for sharing. I love these living history museums, you learn so much more from the hands on / demonstrations than just looking at the equipment in a static display. This one is on my list to visit, maybe next summer we will make a trip to the beach and include this place in our adventures. If you are ever in southern New Jersey, near Cap May you should visit Cold Stone Village it is a similar living museum.
Thank you for stopping by! I do love these history museums and I had to go ahead and look up the one in Cape May. I love Cape May and my aunt lift their her entire life. There is a lot to be said for the Hands-On living history museums. I hope you get to visit this one next summer and yes! I have a weekend house over on the shore and love their Beach. It's an easy reach from there. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words behind. It's always a pleasure to be in company of so many people that really enjoy living history.

Interesting, Denise. I never felt a piece of raw cotton or used a loam.
Since I crochet- or should I say have started again after the power went out after the hurricane and I couldn’t use the internet for a few days, I am interested in how the weaving is done.
I didn’t know weaving was a job the men did originally. But why not? I know some men can knit and crochet.
Have a great weekend! 😊 🌺 💕
Interesting that men did that. I mean, yes! Why not, exept that society has accepted as true that this is something women, specifically women. We started as young girls crocheting and knitting. Boys didn't normally do that as they would be ridiculed. Sad, isn't it?
Raw cotten was something I never touched until I traveled down to the South of the United States where all the big cotton farms were. I was amazed at how dirty it was! LOL
You are interested in weaving? That would be something fun to do, I would think. I can only imagine the things I could do!
Thank you for stopping by!

I would love to see this!!!!!! I have always wanted to learn how to weave, someday I will. What a wonderful day, I didn't know men were the first to weave, interesting @dswigle. I guess since women have always done needlework and most handwork I assumed they were the weavers. Wow!!!!!
I know you would love to see it!!! Living history museums are so cool! The hands on demonstration is so amazing and teaches it so well. I have always wanted to learn how to weave and I found it interesting that men wee the weavers.
I want to thank you for stopping by and saying hello and always leaving such wonderful words behind.
