Peter Martin Farm....
of the Woolwich Mennonites
"Mennonites from Pennsylvania were among the first settlers of Waterloo County. The plain, unadorned interior of this house reflects their simple, unworldly approach to living.
Peter Martin House: Originally located in Waterloo Township, Waterloo County. Constructed around 1820. Original owner, Peter Martin. Gift of the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation, 1974...."caption taken from:http://waterlooregionmuseum.com/doon-heritage-village/explore-the-village-buildings.aspx

I am having trouble with my Blogger..It has changed!!! I am having trouble finding my way around a new format, so I decided to use some old picture files, from a visit to a living museum a few years back, so that I can learn how this new format works!!! (sigh)

The re-enacting guides did a marvelous job explaining life on the Farm
in a different age.

These pictures remind me of a time when we were a part of a community of believers who had left their Amish settlement. What most do not know is that many Amish still believe in a system of works, some do understand salvation in Christ but it is Christ plus works that gain them salvation, but some only believe in a system of works. Their simple lifestyle is more to do with traditions and church doctrine than on biblical doctrine. The group we worshiped with still held to their traditions in clothing and simple living and I have to tell you it is hard living without modern conveniences. However, some of them in the group started to have some such things as electricity, etc. But their faith ran deep because even though they had a system of works they were passionate about it and that carried into their newfound faith. We moved, they moved and it was hard to keep in contact with them after that, I do so miss them. Thank you for the fond remembrances through these pictures.
