The farmhouse Front Porch was an active place to socialize, and hear two men talk about the “bank panic”, other timely events, politics, etc. In the Parent's Room, the young, busy parents talk of family, business and their plans. In the Kitchen, while visiting and preparing a meal, women enjoy a lively talk including how times are changing.
