Field Trip to Traveller’s Rest

Kyle’s class took a field trip to Traveller’s Rest in Nashville last week.  This was the home to Judge John Overton, who was a personal friend of Andrew Jackson.  The kids got to tour the home, visit a one-room schoolhouse and play games that children played long ago (before there were screens to distract them).  I love how both boys have had recent field trips that have taken them back to the same time period!  Read about Hayden’s trip here.

Learning to write with a quill pen.  It wasn’t easy, especially for my lefty.

Ready to go to school.

Greeting the teacher.

Working on the “computer” of the time.

Playing a few games on the porch.

The kids and adults all enjoyed themselves.  I would definitely go back again!

Thanks for stopping by!
