FIELD TRIP
May 6 we enjoyed the interactions with the Carey Ridge 3rd graders. They came to visit 5 locations in downtown Westfield - our Museum, the 1835 Barker Cabin, the City Hall Assembly Room, the Anti-Slavery Cemetery, and the Basile Westfield Playhouse. We talked about many things including the Underground Railroad and how to live in a cabin as a family of 11. The students had a lot of great questions and some great guesses of maybe needing 10,000 people to run the City government. Hope we all learned something. Pictured are two groups meeting/passing on their way through Asa Bales Park to the Anti-Slavery cemetery where Asa Bales is buried after dying in a cholera epidemic in 1845 and the other pictures one of five groups entering the cabin seeing tools used back in the time.

Yesterday we had two tours with approximately 35 people from Mephibosheth Ministries located in Cicero. This is a photo of part of the group in the Barker Log Cabin. They toured both the museum and the cabin. It was truly an enjoyable day with everyone. Between their tours they enjoyed their lunches with the hospitality offered by the Christ United Methodist Church located just north of the museum and cabin.
