SOUTHERN MUSEUM OF CIVIL WAR AND LOCOMOTIVE HISTORY

Our museum visit was a wonderful learning experience. We learned all about the importance of locomotives during the Civil War.

The students were separated into groups and then each group experienced all of the activities the museum had to offer along the way.

In addition to viewing and learning about the exhibits, the kids went on a scavenger hunt, watched a movie, looked at Civil War Era games, saw a movie about the Great Locomotive Chase, saw a Civil War soldier "gun shooting" demonstration, and shopped in the museum gift shop.

The famous steam locomotive, General was a sight to see. The students learned all about the heroic adventure that James Andrews and William Fuller experienced with the Great Locomotive Chase.

There was also a US Army soldier there, dressed to impress and share his military life and tell what it takes to shoot his rifle.

The weather couldn’t have been better. We were able to enjoy our lunch outside and run around a bit as well.

Thank you to all of the wonderful parents who came along to chaperone; we very much appreciate you all!
