Decorate Autograph books Saturday

Be sure to drop by the children’s craft area and decorate an autograph book to take home. Middleton History volunteers will be on hand to help. In the 1800’s, children would collect autographs with their friends and family. Children would write beautiful poems and sentiments in flawless script. Drop by the museum sometime and we will show you these wonderful treasures.

These few lines to you are tendered
By a friend sincere and true
Stopping but to be remembered
When I am far away from you
Your sincerely schoolmate
