Our Community’s Past
Posted by Maureen DialloThe First and Second Graders visited the Fairfield Museum and History Center for a walking tour exploring Fairfield’s past. We began the tour on the green and imagined what it was like to be standing right there almost 300 years ago. We actually would have been standing in the center of a pond, which was eventually filled in! We explored the Sun Tavern, which provided food and lodging for those traveling through the area. We even got to test out the rope beds on the upper floor of the tavern. Next, our group headed to The Fairfield Academy, a private school for girls and boys. Sitting at the wooden desks in straight rows felt much different than the comforts of Unquowa! We discussed how education has changed over time and felt lucky to see how far it has come.
