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.
