One project we have for social studies is learning about the history of where we live, the San Ramon Valley. Last weekend, we visited a Livorna Park to learn something about parks. We also visited an indian settlement area as well as an old cemetery to see the graves of some of the early settlers of the region. This weekend, we visited a museum that explains the history of railroading, cattle ranching, as well as prehistoric creatures that lived in the area.
One of the coolest things was a big train layout in the museum. They had an old Lionel train and lots of old school presents in the center of the room about ranching. I got to see an old baby Brownie camera complete with (used) flash bulbs. Cameras sure have changed a lot over the years.
