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.
