Wheatfield villageWheatfield is a recreated village set in the year 1848. It is populated by costumed role players portraying the typical inhabitants of a small town in northeast Ohio in 1848. Buildings were relocated from all over northeast Ohio to Hale Farm and Village and set around a village green. Wheatfield never really existed, but very realistically shows what life was like in small town Ohio in the year 1848. This is a look at the objects, tools and materials that the people of Wheatfield use in their everyday life. In 1848...James Polk is President...Ohio is the fifth largest state...ice cream and oysters are all the rage...gold is discovered in the California Territory...the Mexican War just ended...the Ohio Canal is almost 20 years old...Wisconsin is admitted as the thirtieth state..."Oh Susanna" is performed...the first women's rights convention is held in Seneca Falls, New York...all in the year 1848.
