A Peek At The Past

We're pulling handmade, 130 year-old nails out of the house.
When these nails were made;
  • World War One was decades away

  • The Panama Canal didn't exist

  • Jesse James was at large

  • Charles Darwin hadn't argued his case

  • Only 5 percent of the country had indoor plumbing

  • The Eifel Tower was just a blueprint

  • There were only 45 States

How cool is that?
