Stepping out of the classroom and into the past, the Class of ’35 brought its U.S. History unit to life during Colonial Day at the Carolina Backcountry Homestead at the Sumter County Museum. Dressed in period costumes, students explored the recreated log cabin, settler’s house, and blacksmith shop while rotating through hands-on activities that offered a glimpse into colonial life. From cooking over an open hearth, baking bread, and woodworking to traditional arts and crafts, outdoor games, and lessons in proper tea service and the use of fans, students experienced the customs and daily routines of early settlers. Parent volunteers and teachers, also dressed in period costumes, worked alongside museum staff and volunteers to guide the activities, highlighting the strong tradition of parental involvement that enriches learning at Wilson Hall. The teachers are Mrs. Tammy Amick, Mrs. Laura Brogdon, and Mrs. Haley Ray.
