We were very lucky to have Lt. Col. (Retired) Bob O'Neal from the Sons of the American Revolution come visit us recently to show us what life was like during revolutionary times. He came dressed as a minuteman and showed us many artifacts soldiers would have used during the Revolutionary War. He also talked about the many different flags that flew over different battles and showed us how to cut a 5-pointed star. Here's what the Pioneers had to say about his visit:
"I liked when we got to pass around the items." -R.L.
"I learned that lanterns were made of tin. I also liked the cow horn cup!" J.G.
"I liked the one-cut star. I also learned that they had to scrape the tea off [of a hardened cake of tea]." C.S.
"I liked the horn cup. It smelled bad but it was cool." -J.C.
'I liked a lot. I learned a lot." J.F.
"I liked it when you made the one-cut star. I learned that Colonial times were hard to live in." -K.F.
