On Friday we went to the Joseph Schneider Haus. When we arrived we got to dress up in clothing that the Schneider children would have worn 200 years ago in 1816! We then got to take a tour of the house and participate in some of the daily chores that the children were responsible for. Some of the chores included: carrying wood for the fire, working in the garden, baking cookies, washing clothes, making beds, grinding coffee and many more! After a hard morning of working around the house we got to enjoy the delicious ginger cookies we made. We had a great morning at the Joseph Schneider Haus!
