Bill - if you haven't done so, check out ALHFAM's website ... the
Association for Living Historical Farms and Agricultural Museums - at
http://www.mystic.org/alhfam.

ALHFAM's membership is not just farms and farmers - although we do have
some of both.  Our membership is made up of historic house museums, living
history sites, forts, ships, farms, agricultural museums, etc.  We don't
have a discussion group but you will find our web page interesting - with
links to over 60 other living history sites around the world.

And you might want to check out the information at our website on our
annual conference - this is of course assuming that you aren't already a
member of the ALHFAMily!  Next year's conference will be held at the
University of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada from June 21 to 25.

Regards,

Tom
