📚🍎 Back to School looks a little different here at the Fort Museum! ✏️🏫

Our “kids” are ready to learn in the Trading Post! 😊 Step back in time and check out our Back to School display, featuring school items and artifacts dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s. 🕰️📖

Come see what heading back to school looked like generations ago you might be surprised by how much has changed! 👀
