Wheatfield

The Western Reserve Historical Society opened Hale Farm in 1958 after receiving the property from Clara Belle Ritchie, decendent of Jonathan Hale. [ Western Reserve Historical Society, "The First Hundred Years 1867-1967" published 1968 ] The eastern half of Hale Farm and Village is a living history museum that has a variety of historical buildings, most relocated from elsewhere. This recreated village is called "Wheatfield". The majority of Wheatfield's structures are inhabited by people who present information on their location but acknowledge the modern world. This technique is known as third-person interpretation. First-person interpretation means that the inhabitants of a structure work as actors who play out the livelihood of a certain year and setting. The timeframe reenacted by the first-person interpreters at Wheatfield was 1862 in 2007. Each year, the actors will move forward one year, until they reach 1865, the end of the American Civil War, at which point they will revert to 1861, which was the beginning of the war.

Hale Farm and Village also has demonstrations of various nineteenth century trades such as candle, broom, and brick making, glass blowing, and a blacksmith shop.
