Our Go Homeschool CoOp families went on a field trip to Millfest in Lindsborg last Friday! It was rich with living history that was informative, interactive, and fun! The mill started in 1898 and is only ONE of THREE remaining operational mills in the entire US from that time period! What a historical site to see.
The day included Swedish dance, which we all did in a circle, listening (and joining in) some Swedish music, meeting llamas and learning about making things with their fiber, watching a blacksmith work, taking a tour of the historical mill, experiencing what it's like taking wheat from grain to flour by sifting and grinding some with a small mill, learning the importance of the bees, weaving, wood carving, making ropes, and taking a carriage ride pulled by famous mules that will be in an upcoming movie called Sod & Stubble!
It was a long, exhausting, and fantastic day. We love that our CoOp families can enjoy educational field trips together and continue growing as a great community.
