Colonial Home Field Trip




How fortunate we are to be have an authentic colonial home right here Edmond. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan gave us a grand tour of their home showing us how a colonial kitchen worked, the symmetry associated with that period of architecture, the importance of tea, and many details about furniture making and blacksmiths. Perhaps the biggest highlight was having Mr. Duncan shot his flintlock rifle in the backyard. Sixty students and fifteen parents jumped in surprise at that explosive sound! We concluded the day by writing letters of appreciation to our wonderful hosts.
