About this postcard

The picture shows a large stone mill with a green roof and cupola, a red brick house behind a picket fence, and a group of women in long dark dresses and white caps standing near a horse-drawn carriage; a sheep grazes in the foreground. The setting appears to be a historic village or living-history site, with costumed figures re-creating 19th-century rural life.
