Old Salem

Our home school group toured Old Salem in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Friday. What a great day! Since it was a "Homeschooler's Day", they had several activities set up, and there were re-en actors present to give tours and answer questions. I was delighted at the extent to which the children enjoyed it.....They would like to go back to complete the things they missed the first time.

My favorite part? Learning how to make buttons from thread. I plan on trying it out this week and will post a photo of the resulting button. We also did a workshop on Cyanography. Now, I am looking for a place to buy the solution so we can repeat the project at home.

It is definitely a great tour if you every happen to be in the area.
