There were a lot of things going on the whole day and all the students had a great time.

We turned our entire school into a coal camp. We had a Company Store where you could buy all kinds of food-popcorn, "penny" candy, PICKLES (yum!), fudge...

We had a church room, where we learned that the Church  was usually in the same building as the school only on the weekends. The Church and school was only a one room house.

We also had a toy room where we made yarn dolls. Everyone made their own toys then.

We had a quilting room where we had a "quilting bee". We put some cool stiches into that quilt!

There was a game room where we played checkers and marbles.

In the front porch room, we heard an old time story teller. And we had a history room, where we learned about Boone County's early families.

The Museum room had a lot of artifacts like, old canning jars, a corn husker, a kraut chopper and an apple butter stirrer. We had a demonstration on coal mine safety equipment and got to look at a model of a coal mine in the museum as well.

We had an old fashioned school-room, complete with spelling bee and that tall pointed hat in the corner...oh yea, they called that a "dunce cap". (Times sure have changed!)

We had a Mountain Plant and Flower room where we learned about mountain plants...anyone interested in a "mess of poke greens"?

The gym was our "barn" with old-time music with guitars, mandolins and vocals about coal mining life.

We had a great time in doing this day and we hope you like our webpage.
