Brief Summary

"The basic premise is this: If it didn't exist in 1900, we will do without." SEE YOU IN A HUNDRED YEARS is the story of one family's year in a farmhouse in Swoope, Virginia, living as if it were 1900 and trying to simplify their lives. Years of working long hours surrounded by technology, stress, and stranger had taken their toll on Logan Ward and his wife Heather, and to save their marriage and their sanity, Logan and Heather sold their belongings, packed up their two-year-old son, and moved to a rundown farmhouse in the country without any plans past surviving the year. Adventure travel writer Logan Ward chronicles their year in 1900—what the move solved and what it didn't, what they lost and what they gained. As they struggle with recalcitrant livestock and garden-destroying bugs, rain that won't come and their own insecurities, they discover a sense of community and a sense of themselves that changes not only their marriage, but the entire Swoope, Virginia community.
