We spent the morning at the Grange Hall, where we experienced how difficult everyday life was for pioneers. We made candles, churned butter, made starch, and candles. |
We worked with basic tools. |
Learning to use the loom was fun, but keeping the shuttle moving in the right direction was a little tricky. We gained an appreciation for how hard it was for pioneers to get new clothes. |
This school master gave new meaning to being disciplined. |
We were so well behaved, and looked so cute in our pioneer outfits, that we were able to sit in the desks. |
