This is the Place Heritage Park

On the 24th of July we took the kids to the Pioneer park in commemoration of the day. They enjoyed many of the activities and crafts.

Milo Andrus house, part of the King family heritage. The house was originally located on 6400 South and was a halfway house for travelers as they journeyed on to the Draper Pony Express Station which was near Thanksgiving Point of today.

Brinley and Isaac participated in a mock pioneer school session learning about the class rules.

This was one form of discipline for disobedience. Another form was the use of the paddle by the teacher.

If the child forgot to do his homework he wore the "Dunce" hat for a half day. He would have to walk home at noon to complete his assignment and return. But the walk was often up to 2 miles one way.

There was a short parade of decorated handcarts created by the volunteers.

Isaac tried to master some of the pioneer games.

After a while he became bored and tried to use the rim as a hula hoop.

The kids rode the train through the village, made ropes, fans, windmills and painted a wooden snake. They finished off the day with a tug a war with other children at the park.

A long day for a tired baby.

The Pay family cabin.
