1850s: Man walks across field.
United States 1680s: A man dressed in period clothing—dark coat, knee breeches, white stockings, and a broad-brimmed hat—walks across a freshly plowed field carrying a burlap sack over his shoulder. The scene, staged to depict rural life circa the 1850s, shows a weathered barn with a woodpile in the background, rolling farmland, and a tree-lined ridge under a partly cloudy sky.
