We've done a whole lotta other stuff in this year that I haven't been posting much. Jessie & I are on the Johnson County Historical Commission and have been working down at the Chisholm Trail Outdoor (Living) Museum. Jessie has been teaching Texas History classes down at the museum in an 1868 School House, just the way it was taught at that time. There is no electricity in the school house and just a pot belly stove for heat. They use slates and chalk boards and McGuffy readers! She has been teaching not only homeschoolers and private schooled children, but those in the local public schools for their 4th Grade Texas History class.
There are many events that go on down at the Chisholm Trail and we've participated in several of them. Some pics from last yrs. Pioneer Days...
Here are Terry's Texas Rangers...
Daniel took classes and is now certified to shoot the canons!
One of the members, Mike Smith, designed and made this Gatling Gun...
Both Kelly and Daniel were inducted into Terry's Texas Rangers Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Kelly's family has kin folk who served in the Confederate Calvary. Terry's Texas Rangers fire artillery at reenactments and care for the gravesites and keep history on those who were in the Civil War.
