this is Miss Elizabeth heard and she is
the director here at the Pioneer Village
and we're so thankful for all the effort
that she puts into this event and these
two events actually a year and could you
tell us briefly just how this event came
about how your village is a preservation
project of White County Historical
Society and the events began as a
fundraiser for the village we operate
independently financially from the
Historical Society in the events that we
hold at the village are used to provide
funds for the maintenance repair and
upkeep of the building

as you boil the water salt falls out of
your bottom and pull the crystals it
looks just about like wet sand there's
some hair around my haven't yet see it
but that's somewhat we bought earlier
and they would use that to preserve ham
and bacon and things see we didn't have
refrigeration salt was so important to
the Confederate Army that you were
exempt from service if you stayed back
in late salt I'm here with my good
friend Terry is better known as
hillbilly if you've watched the living
tradition homestead videos and follow
their channel they mentioned this fella
here recently talking about their hope

stories probably ain't got time to tell
them all and yet we had some possums up

I see there's a sign out there and by
the parking lot that you have plans to
expand there's a sign up there about a
museum that's going to be built here
there is a sign there is a sign for a
museum a couple of years ago we came up
with the idea and we've made a lot of
progress with the plans for a new
building we have so many artifacts here
in the village and all the items have
been given to us plus we have many many
items in storage that require a
different environment than the village
they really need to be in a
climate-controlled environment and we
just can't offer that here so we're
building an actual museum building and
keep them in a climate control as well
as perhaps have even traveling exhibits
so it will allow us to further share the
history serves e-flite County
Arkansas with the subway
