New York History reports that the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown is looking for students for its summer Young Interpreters program. Sounds like a blast:
The museum presents the trades and crafts common to ordinary people of rural 19th-century New York State in its historic village and farmstead. Young interpreters will have the opportunity to work in various selected sites throughout the museum including: Peleg Field Blacksmith Shop, Bump Tavern, Lippitt Farmhouse, Dr. Thrall's Pharmacy, The Middlefield Printing Office, Todd's General Store, the Children's Barnyard, or developing spinning and weaving skills.
I would totally have gone for the Printing Office. Deep in the heart of every HTML-spouting, social-media-blasting, relentlessly hyperlinked e-reporter lurks a kid who loves the smell of fresh ink.
