After touring the Governor and his family and formal rooms, we were free to explore the separate unattached buildings that housed the kitchen area and other working areas of the palace household.
The kitchen was large and roomy with many different areas for food preparation
A costumed expert colonial cooking processes was on hand to answer any questions we might have while she prepared an authentic meal for the day,
Another room was set aside for weaving and tailoring
The head of the female staff.(above) as well as the lead butler each had their own modest, but reasonably comfortable private accommodations.
Other servants however bunked together in minimaly furnished accomodations.
Other areas we viewed were the blacksmith house,
the stables,
and the herb and kitchen gardens.
