Photo of fireplace tools hanging from a wooden beam at the Allen House in Alamance County, N.C.

Size: 1024×683

Fireplace and cooking tools hanging in the fireplace of the Allen House in Alamance County, N.C., where John and Rachel Allen lived with their family in the late 1700s. The tools hanging from a wooden beam on the stone wall of the fireplace include a trivet — a three-footed device used to keep pots elevated above the coals of a fire, or above the surface of a table.
