Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle creaking? Imagine centuries ago, floors like these groaning under the weight of farmers' boots. Look to your left—there's a stunning thatched-roof house. It's a real gem, telling tales of families who once lived here. Did you know the roof is made from reeds, chosen for their insulation and durability? On a craft day, you might witness how these roofs are traditionally thatched. Behind you, those old tools aren't just implements, they're relics of an era when craftsmanship was a way of life. Dive into this vibrant history lesson and feel the whisper of the past.
