| All children up to grade 6 had class here. The 7th and 8th graders went upstairs and they were considered highschoolers. Eighth grade was the highest they went. They had pictures of the class of 1891 and 1903. It was really neat to see. I pointed out to Little Man that some of those kids were his age in the picture and some didn't wear shoes. He was amazed! |

Great trip, I love going to old places and learning about the past. Why did they put stones in bottles, I haven't heard that one before?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Field trip hop look like you learned a lot and had a great day!
I LOVE those pics!! I just love history museums especially old homes... I grew up near Rhode Island and we always took trips to those mansions in Rhode Island. I just loved seeing how other people live. I wonder what that says about my personality... now I am curious hehe
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I love historical field trips, but we haven't been on one in a while! I think it's time to plan one!
