Go Back in History

Go Back in History

Mile: 113,890

Action Jackson got to start the day using the lull with Papa! Before you know it he will be running all of the machines on his own all the time!

After that we got to go back in time.

We visited the old Gaylordsville school house. It was neat for him to see how the school was one room. He was trying to wrap his head around one room for all the grades. He was in luck though as there were no longer wooden rulers so we didn’t have to explain what that was all about. I still shudder when I see a wooden spoon too!

Then we went over to an old forge to see how parts were made for wagons by hand.

After that it was off to the old Merwinsville Hotel which a bunch of volunteers have helped to restore. We used to have passenger trains that went through town and they would stop at the hotel which was also a station.

It was a good day to hear and see how our Town used to be!

Please like and share so everyone can follow along on our adventures in this old, beat up pickup truck that puts smiles on our faces and others as we meander from adventure to adventure!
