Sheboygan Historical Museum Field Trip

Today the students spent their day at our local historical museum.  They learned about how communities start out and grow over time.  The focus was on learning about the communities in Sheboygan County.  Throughout the day the students learned about different occupations and trades that people had in the 1800's.  They learned about blacksmiths, wheelwrights, coopers, etc.  By the end of the day, most students realized the importance of people working together in order to make a community stronger.  For example, the students learned that the blacksmith relies on the cooper and the cooper relies on the farmer and so on.  It was a fun way to learn more about our local history.
