Let's Go Outside and look at all the jobs out there that helped the 18th Century food-o-verse go around.
While not every job outside the home was food related in the 18th century - quite a few of them were. I take you through Grain, Livestock, Fish, Sugar, Iron and Wood. There's a detour through buldings and even a shoutout to the American McMansion.
Lots of fun pictures this week.
