Have tons of fun searching for and discovering curated objects from the 19th century that were part of our rural heritage lifestyle. A hand-out is given to each participant containing over 40 images that are displayed in our 3 indoor museums and outdoor historic rural village. Children can try their hand a using an early corn grinder made in Frederick Maryland to experience how kernels of corn were removed from the cob for human food such as pop corn, corn flour and animal feed. The left over cob was often used to make corn cob dolls or sliced into checkers for the game of Checkers and painted either red or black. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
