A Visit to the Past

We are going on a field trip!!! We will be going to Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College."Take your students on a trip back in time with our Visit to the Past workshop. This hands-on workshop for grades K-12 includes educational and fun-filled activities, some of which may include operating the hand press at the print shop, grinding corn into meal and grits at the gristmill, washing clothes on a washboard, making a poultice at the doctor’s office, working with the blacksmith or shelling corn for the animals at the farm.Students dress in costume and eat an authentic farmhouse lunch, cooked over the open hearth or on a woodstove, at one of the village’s houses or cabins, much as they would have in rural wiregrass Georgia over a century ago."
