Let's take a peek in Tank Cottage's summer kitchen!
Though common among houses built in the 18th and 19th century, the summer kitchen at Tank Cottage is unique, in that it is attached to the home, while many would have been physically seperate from the house. As the name suggests, this space would have been used primarily in the summer. Having this seperate cooking space was a key to surviding the hot summer months before the invention of modern air conditioning. As the days began to cool in the fall, the family would have moved cooking back inside the main house but could have continued to use the summer kitchen for the smellier chores around the house, like laundry.
Have you peeked inside this stunning space while strolling?

Though woodworking is generally considered a hobby in modern times, it was an essential part of life on a Belgian farm in the 19th century. From building sturdy structures to house animals and family, to carving the delicate yet functional sabots, or wooden shoes. Though often credited to the Dutch, wooden footwear was common among Belgian immigrants. These clogs, called sabots by the Belgians, were more durable than their leather counter parts and were cheaper to repair or replace. They were especially popular among farm families as they kept the wearer's feet dry in muddy pastures and mucky stalls. Sabots were generally plain but could be painted or otherwise personalized by the wearer. We are fortunate to have this pair of sabots, with their intricate engraving, in our collection here at the park.
