Cracker Country Spring School Tours

It's Spring time at Cracker Country! School Tours have begun!

Surrounding area schools will be visiting Cracker Country ready to be immersed in the sights, textures, sounds, tastes and smells of the past.

Each group is led by a docent dressed in 1890's period clothing. Tours stop in the Blacksmith Shop, where they will watch a Blacksmith at work, learn about his trade, and help him with a few projects.

At the Carlton House, students learn about the history of the Carlton family, then churn and taste their own butter!

Candle-making, rope-making, and laundry are also part of the days lesson plan, along with several other activities.
