Our Old Village Hall
Museum in Neosho, sponsored by the Neosho/Rubicon Historical
Society, conducts a number of school tours, normally in May. They
tend to be groups of 4th and/or 5th graders. We were discussing improvements
to our customized tour for that age group. We have displays
including an old one room school area and a mercantile store of
the 1800's in which we interact with the students by comparing the
current methods with the way their grandparents and
great-grandparents went about their similar activities. We had
thought about providing a comparison of the games played "back
then" with what the children, with their electronic games, play
with now. Is there a book that provides instructions on how to
make and/or play these old games and/or a source in which we can
acquire some old games for the students to play? Are their any
historical societies who might have duplicates and would be
interested in donating them to us?
One of our goals is to continuously improve and change our museum
to best represent life in the past in our local area. You your
help would be
greatly appreciated.
