Eckley Miners Village

For Fathers Day our family spent the day at Eckley Miners Village, Coal Patch Days, Eckley, PA. A rare look into the 19TH Century.  While we were there a women invited us into her home to show off her collection of Victorian clothing and lace.  She took such pride and enthusiasm in the collection. It was perfect example of how many products were handmade in the USA.  She had so many examples of the lost art of tatting lace.  Even thou her home was small it was filled with beautiful Victorian hats, change purses, hat pins and clothing of the period.  It gave us a better understanding of what life must have been like in during the Victorian age. Amazing experience!
