Warmer weather is in the air and that means it would be time to shear the sheep flock. John Fortinos, a historical interpreter at Greenfield Village, provides a lesson on what shearing sheep is like without electricity. As he does, he shares common knowledge and skills that many in the 19th century would have been familiar with. We want to extend our gratitude to The Henry Ford and the staff at Greenfield Village for their hospitality with this episode.
