The Oliver Mansion


It was very cool to go and take a tour of the Oliver Mansion. There were so many different things to see and learn from about the past. We saw how the people lived and there are all kinds of things we could gather and talk about after the tour. Just how big the house was. As a class students could take the family that lived there and do research and a presentation. Using actual experiences from what they saw about that family. You get a whole set of new ideas about the people. You can see what they liked and disliked. It puts the people into that house and into the new light. A textbook can't do that.
