Riley's Farm Civil War



Justin was able to join Nina on a field trip with her Charter School. They went to a Civil War camp for the day. I did not go so this is all pictures they took and stories he told when he got home. I think the picture above is the town meeting.

Checking out some period clothing, I think.

Churning Butter(I guess)



They had some shooting practice and then the battle. He came home with a view on the war that was very interesting.
"If only people would stop and talk for a minute they would see how idiotic this war was"
We talked about that for a bit. I told him that most wars were like that. and they were usually over land or money. We have not done a lot of American History. I am looking forward to the study next year.
