Field trip!

Yay! We all love field trip days! Today we went to the Nathanael Greene Museum in Greeneville, TN. We never dreamed they'd have so much "stuff" in this place! We were pleasantly surprised. Though the museum is named after Nathanael Greene, they have just one or two artifacts of his. Instead, it covers much of Greene County's history, and was really was very interesting.
It contains many artifacts from Andrew Johnson's life....
Lots of old antique farm tools that were used in this area....
Tons of Civil War relics...Katie would ONLY pose with the Confederate soldier :O)....
There was also a room called the Greene Adventure Room where kids can go and "pretend" lots of things. Rachel was an "old" pioneer woman....
And Katie enjoyed posing as Davy Crockett. :O)
Jacob was busy looking at all the "serious" stuff. :O) All in all, it was a very interesting day...educational too. Yesterday was a school holiday (Labor Day) and today was a field trip. Tomorrow we have GOT to get back to the books! :O)
