Photo Friday: Following an Old Trail
Recently I learned about an outdoor store in Sacramento, Trailmix, that created a scavenger hunt in Old Sacramento. We took the adventure which made for a fun afternoon. You can read more about that trip in Wednesday’s post.
One of the stops was an old schoolhouse. I have often seen this school from the outside, but it happened to be open as we went around on our scavenger’s hunt. This was a one room building heated by a pot-bellied stove in the middle. Some of the desks had mini chalkboards on them, really giving the feel for learning without backpacks or binders. The classroom, which served up to eighth grade, was divided into readers and non-readers. Just one teacher attended to all of the students. The photo didn’t really fit into Wednesday’s post, though I found it to be one of the most interesting stations we had to visit. I thought it was worth adding to the collection of travel photos for Photo Friday. To see more travel photos, be sure to check out Delicious Baby.
Love the idea of a scavenger hunt around town…sounds like a great family activity. Lovely little school room.
Remind me of my childhood. We have similar classroom like this in Thailand too.
What a cool idea! I love Old Town Sacramento! I grew up taking field trips there and to Sutter’s Fort!
Good post… I’m always on the lookout for good blogs.
Sounds like a fun day…and the lighting in this photo sort of gives it a cool nostalgic feel.
