Oliver H. Kelley Farm

Today I chaperoned Evan's field trip to the Oliver Kelly Farm north of the cities. The kids experienced what it was like to run a farm in the 1860's. The students each had a turn pushing a plow through the field with two oxen, cutting corn husks with a fodder cutter, rolling dough for crackers, picking beans in the garden, shaking out rugs, feeding the sheep and brushing the horse.
