Community Life - Then And Now

The Schoolhouse, a place of learning, is shown to be a center for community activities. The Blacksmith’s Shop and Carriage Shed are used as focal points for discussion about transportation. Visits to the Red Mill and the quarry buildings afford opportunities to talk about modes of communication, community status, educational values, and gender roles.
