Civil War Activity – Museum & Library of Confederate History

A picnic at the park with my girls before going to the museum!

Recently I took the girls to the Museum and Library of Confederate History in a nearby town. They have been studying in school various aspects of the Civil War and I thought it would be a good field trip to help them learn a little more regarding the history they are studying in school. They had a grand time looking at all the cool items in the museum. One of the workers took the time to go from room to room with the girls and explain in more detail many of the items on display.

This toy cannon is similar to the one Thomas Jefferson’s son had as a child. It was said that he attacked his toy soldiers with the cannon and occasionally a stray chicken.
