We visited the Oaklands Museum during their Washing, Churning, and Learning day, When we arrived at the Oaklands campus, I didn't know what to expect.  Luckily, the day was was beautiful since a majority of the activities were outside.  We were able to take a glimpse back in time by seeing reenactments of many activities of the past. We were able to help churn butter and wash laundry using a washing board.  I am so grateful for washing machines and dryers.  The tour of the Maney family mansion was the highlight of this field trip.  I learned quite a bit of new things and my memory was refreshed about others.  The girls were stunned to learn about the cleanliness of people in the 1800s.  It was hard for them to wrap their minds around not having their hair washed for extended periods of time and using the bath water of others.
