3rd Grade Field Trip

October 22, 2010, Friday - Today I helped chaperon the 3rd Grade Field Trip to Old Salem. I had been there before as a young kid, but didn't remember much. It was a beautiful day to walk around and see the restored buildings, gardens, museums & craftsmen.
Inside the oldest standing African American church in NC. Built in 1861 & expanded in 1890. This picture was taken upstairs where Sunday School classes were held.
Lunchtime - Great weather to have a picnic outside
Abraham Lincoln came and slept in this tavern (hotel). It was built in 1784.
Explaining how the kitchen worked back then & how they did their laundry.
