Pioneer Day at Silver Dollar CIty
Shae
Introduction
This is a flyer about my Pioneer trip to Silver Dollar City. I went to the Oak Trail school house, the Blacksmith and the Weaving studio. We learned many things during our trip.
Oak Trail School House
First, I went to the one-room school house. The grades were k-8. Ms. Sharon told us what utensils they had and what technology they were limited to, which was none. A lot of the kids in 8th grade were not able to read and some children had to walk more than 5 miles.
Blacksmith
The next place I went to was the blacksmith. The Blacksmith uses metals like steel and iron. When we were there, he was making grill legs. There was a shop next to it were you can buy the things he made. It was very interesting.
Weaving Studio
The last place I went to was the weaving studio. We felt camel hair and silk. We compared their softness. The silk was a lot softer than the camel hair. The weaving studio had a lot of clothing to buy, but mostly hats and blankets.
Conclusion
Try to go to Pioneer Day. You will have lots of fun learning about the school house, the blacksmith, and the weaving studio.
