258: Spring Mill State Park in Indiana - A Family Adventure into the Pioneer Days!

Enjoy our family outing to Spring Mill!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I had more than one school field trip to Spring Mill Park growing up. That is awesome! Brought back memories!

I went there so much as a kid and didn't really appreciate it until I got a little older. History interests me more now. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you! I thought the place was a little boring when I went there as a kid every year, but now it feels very inviting and fun to visit. Thank you for watching and the kind words!

[@khtractors]

Looked like a fun place to visit! I enjoy seeing these type things. You need to make a sawmill like that one 😆!

[@FabbedFun]

I think I'd get very... board... with a sawmill like that! HA! Thanks for watching and commenting, Ben!

Outstanding Logan, the kids will remember this experience the rest of their lives.Every summer Our parents took Us to Historic places of interest way up here in northern N.Y. There's so much history up here.

[@FabbedFun]

I bet a lot of those structures are about 100 to 150 years older than "frontier" Indiana. Very cool!

[@BuildALotAcres]

Very cool seeing how they used to live. We have an old village here set in the 1830's and I love going there. Lots of stuff to see during every season.

[@FabbedFun]

It was interesting to me how the steam engine so quickly changed the frontier's reliance on water power. The older I get, the cooler this stuff is. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

This looked like a fun day out, thanks for taking us along for the ride. That water wheel was huge and the sawmill was very interesting.

[@FabbedFun]

You guys could have made a lathe with all that water power! haha thanks for watching!

What a cool place to visit. Every time that I have to visit a big box store, which shall not be named, I look around and can’t help but think that most people have not a care in the world where their goods come from. Or who or how they are made. If your kids enjoyed this place half as much as I did, they had an awesome time. Loved the music Logan

[@FabbedFun]

Sometimes you just have to get away from the flashing lights and the annoying sounds. This place is peaceful and relaxing for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

We have a very similar spot here in Ontario called Upper Canada Village 👍🏻. The sawmill was impressive 👍🏻. You had the perfect weather for the visit. Have a great week Logan 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@FabbedFun]

It was gorgeous weather and the leaves were still very brightly colored. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@PaleHorseOutdoors]

Very nice trip with the kids, Logan! My parents took me to places like this in TN when I was really little and I didn't appreciate them like I would now. We have a couple water-powered grist mills here in WA and they're awesome. What a fun video, brother! Thanks for sharing :)

[@FabbedFun]

That's what I was saying... the older I get, the cooler old stuff gets haha! Thanks for sharing through the comments!

[@loggerjohn01]

Hey, my friend. I love places like this. We have places like this in Ontario. It looked like your kids were having a good time. That sawmill was impressive. There is a pit saw at one of our local pioneer villages. I wonder how they built that sawmill at a time when there were no computers or cell phones lol. I guess they were in no hurry to make lumber! Great music. Thanks for the tour.

[@FabbedFun]

Well, homes were much more simple, and you couldn't spend all day on the internet or playing video games back then. Their Kubotas didn't even have REGEN back then...

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

My wife would call this a family home movie. Back in the day when the family would make a home movie to remind the kids what they did on vacation or birthday celebration many years in the future.

[@FabbedFun]

Yeah, we used to do that when I was little. VHC camcorder at every holiday, birthday, and some vacations. Now everyone videotapes goofy tik tok dances and ignores the good family times and meaningful stuff. LOL I know, I sound old.

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

@@FabbedFun Not as old as I am, we had a wind up 8 mm movie camera, no sound... and that had to be develop in a lab.
