We learned how school kids in the 1800's were taught. It is so fascinating to learn about our history. In the 1800's a school room was full of several grades, not just one. Today the kids had to write their ABC's and 123's on a little chalk board at their desk in an old school house. I took pics but they didn't come out well. I couldn't use flash because they said it ruins the artifacts. The teacher also explained to the kids that timeouts were used for disciple problems. If a boy got in trouble they would have to put their nose in a circle on the wall and if that didn't work he would be moved to the girls side of the room.
The kids got to see a bank, a general store, a Lawyer's office, a Dentist office, a hotel, a middle class home, a printing press, and a few other things. It is amazing how much things have changed.
