Abstract
Description
Daily life in a homestead like the Wicks' centered in the fireplace of the kitchen, which in reality was the common room.
Since the kitchen was the largest room of the house it needed a large fire to keep it warm in winter. The kitchen served many purposes. All the household gathered in the kitchen where the big fire was burning. Around the fireplace the meals were cooked and most of them eaten, friends were entertained, and almost all the indoor tasks were done, including spinning, soap and candle making, and many others related to home industries.
