As you enter this room, you first notice the desk and chalk board.  Many of those who are over 50 started school in this type desk.  Do you remember sitting behind a best buddy or a girl? (The boys said that it was always better to set behind a girl so you could harass her throughout the day). The apple and old books relate to a simpler time for the student and teacher. The younger visitor is treated to a setting that his parents or most probably grandparents would have experienced as they started to school.

You are listening to "My Country Tis of Thee"  from  Lesley Nelson's Popular Songs In American History
