Eidsvold 6 August 2013

Stopped at Eidsvold to do some washing, stew some fruit and make lemon and passionfruit butter with all the fruit we had collected. Eidsvold is a small village that once had a thriving dairy industry, but now relies on beef cattle. Most of the locals we talked to had lived here all of their lives. They told us that the school once had about 350 students but now there is only about 250 people left in the town. There is a small tribute on the edge of the village to R. M. Williams, who lived nearby, which they hope to make into a tourist attraction.
