My mother and grandmother came for a visit the first week of May. While they were here, we went to the Heritage Farmstead Museum. They had a children's tour that included a story about Farmer Duck who had to do all the chores on the farm. Then we toured the farm and learned about various chores such as: picking apples, churning butter, picking up kindling, beating rugs, gathering eggs, feeding chickens, doing laundry, planting the garden and ironing clothes. It cost $6 for Lila and $3 for me. She really enjoyed it! The farm also had some real animals - sheep, goats, chickens and mules.
First they made a mask to use during the story time.
