At the Living History Center, our group of students will join in a 24-hour live-in “time travel” experience to the past in which they will learn about family and farm life in rural Maine in the 1870s. Activities include working the farm, attending to chores, cooking on a wood-fired cookstove, preparing meals as and performing tasks without the aid of modern technology, and experiencing learning in a one-room schoolhouse, 1850's-style. Students will also learn about the important role of the Washburn family in US history, particularly about their role in support of abolition of slavery, Abraham Lincoln, and preserving American democratic values. We have framed our journey around the essential questions: How does where we live impact how we live? What choices did our ancestors make that affect the way we live today? What can we learn from rural living traditions of the past?
