4th Grade: MO Town 1855 Trip

We stepped back into 1855 today. We first heard from a blacksmith and he demonstrated how to make an S hook. Then we split into two groups to tour the rest of the town. We visited a church and heard from the pastor. We also visited the livery stable and met two mules, 1 horse, and a cat. There was also a team of oxen, sheep, and chickens. There was also a tavern. We met some ladies in the settler’s house who showed us some of the common household items in 1855. We also visited a woodworking shop, mercantile, and schoolhouse. We learned a lot about life in 1855.
