I think The First Mayor's House is really fun and educational.  I think it was fun to learn what boys and girls had in there pockets in the olden days.  I can't believe boys got to carry a pocketknife to school and no one cared.  I like how we got to try the tools and we got to see what they are.  My nana has a coffee grinder like that and I used it to make coffee for them.  It is interesting that in the story of the barley doll that grains expand. I have never seen a grain expand before. If it did it would be cool.  Sarah and I.J.'s bedroom is pretty cool.  It is neat that I. J. took the trunk everywhere.  The chamber pot is a little weird to me and the bell has a pretty sound and the collar is cool because you can wear it over and over again.  If I lived back then I would use the chamber pot if it was night time, but we don't have to because we have toilets in our houses.

           It was really fun doing the chores like, washing socks on a washboard and making butter.  I thought the butter was delicious.  I wanted to make butter with my mom because we love to cook.  The Medicinal Garden was educational because we all got to learn how the Harvey family lived and had to take care of each other when they are sick.  I used the soap wart because I was itchy.   for letting me come to the First mayor's House.  I want to come back with my family to show them around.  Sincerely,  Charlotte Morrow
