	During your visit to the Historic Village at Allaire, stop by the various homes to get a feel for how the different socio- economic classes ofworkers at the Howell Works Company lived. Historic Interpreters in period dress will demonstrate such domestic arts as hearth cooking, Dutch oven baking, laundry, sewing and quilting. Visit the Historic Homes' Gardens and learn about the various herbs used medicinally, in cooking or throughout the household. Guests can learn about the different floral gardens popular during the early 19th Century in New Jersey as well. Children in the Historic Village demonstrate the chores expected of a 19th Century child such as fetching water or explain to guests how a 19th Century child was expected to behave. It was not all work for the children at the Howell Works Company though and the children of the Historic Village are always ready to play and teach period games like Hoops, Graces or Thread the Needle. On a lazy Sunday afternoon in the summer you may even see one of the boys relaxing by the pond, bamboo fishing pole in hand, ready to bring home dinner.
