Freeland Village > 04/10
Spring has arrived at the small Village where it all began. Last time we visited, the townspeople were dreaming up an enchanted snow-covered Winter Wonderland - well they are back to present with pride, their actual Village in all of its Springtime Splendor. Everything from their pubs to farms to the mayor's own house is on display - 123 landmarks in all, as well as a map of the Village itself. Like the winterized Village of four months ago, the assorted buildings, parks and farms are separated into categories for easy locating - unlike before, you will be able to download each landmark individually. But before you do that, please allow yourself the time to take a little show and tell tour of the Village by clicking on the picture of the town near the bottom of the entrance page.
The Freeland Collaborative would like to thank all those who contributed to this rewarding community effort. Special thanks goes out to couchpotato for creating the original map, bzrburns for fueling this entire project and dullemond who tirelessly created the wonderful Spring Village website. We all hope your enjoy your visit and look forward to more projects like this in the future. ff
