farm.
   The kitchen was the
centre of the rural home,
more than just a place for
cooking and eating, its
physical and emotional warmth
stirred by the bustle of the
homemaker's activities. Here
the homemaker did laundry,
ironing, mending, sewing,

knitting and rug making. Here
the children played and did
homework by lamp light. Here
the neighbours visited and
enjoyed card games.
   A tour of this Community
Memories exhibit warmly
illustrates why the kitchen
is considered the 'heart' of
the home, no matter what the

era.
