  That’s fair. In the UK if you wanna see some old stuff you can just… go see some old stuff.

  Meanwhile my entire town(and actually the majority of the state lol) barring like three houses was burned quite literally to the ground during the civil war so nothing predates that.

    You have effigy mounds, Pueblo villages and no end of fascinating ancient sites.

    Anyway, this did inspire me to start !britishfolktraditions@feddit.uk

      Pueblo villages are the other side of the country afaik. I’d like to see one, but I’m not driving two or three days straight for it.

      I haven’t heard of effigy mounds before, though, that’s really cool.

    I’ve always viewed the decline in incidences of Morris Dancing within my lifetime as a reassuring sign of progress.

    There are a lot of new sides being started these days adding all sorts of variety to the mix - it’s not just folks in straw hats and white outfits these days. I follow a few, like Blackthorn Border Morris (although they seem to be going with Blackthorn Ritualistic Folk) and Blackpowder Morris.
