Along the Banks of the Roanoke How We Built Our Lives Here
We came here traveling along a natural highway that we call the Roanoke River.
We Built Homes With Local Timber
Boats Were Essential to Life Along the River
We Built Everything With Tools Like These
Tools of 200 Years Ago How Many Do We use Today?
Could you build this without power tools?
Or This?
All of these things without electricity?
Remember you must use manual tools!
No lights, no ‘phone, no AC! Oil lamps!No electronic communication!
Electricity at work for us! Without electricity and the people who do this work, we wouldn’t have the world we have today!
