Pioneer Farms

This week we went to Pioneer Farms. The kids had a great time exploring this living History Museum. They got to see the early settlers houses, a Tonkowa Indian campground and a German homestead. They were amazed that 15 people lived in one tiny house.

Matthew LOVED looking at all the old vehicles and would ask me to take his picture with them. He also liked asking the "workers" questions. Some they could answer and some they just could not. We had lots of fun walking, exploring and learning about Texas History.
