Colonial Living

After lots of research and preparation, the 5th grade Historians hosted a walk-through Colonial Village. Each of the six locations was set in a different colony and represented lifestyles from the tip of New England all the way into the deep rural south of Georgia. Visitors were treated to a demonstration of horse-shoeing, by a real blacksmith (and mom). Following that demonstration they walked through a Massachusetts general store, a Rhode Island home, a Blacksmith shop in New Jersey, the bedroom of a sick Pennsylvania boy, and a kitchen in Georgia and farmhouse in South Carolina.
