LIVING HISTORY DAY at CROCKETT TAVERN

These home school students studied about colonial living all during the fall and winter and on April 26, 2013 they held a living history day at the Crockett Tavern and Museum.  They certainly look as though they had just walked out of Davy and Polly's front door.
