Seventy third-graders from Trailridge School in Overland Park toured the Grinter House on Friday.
Grinter Place Friends volunteer Jerry Grey showed them how they used to have to carry water to wash clothes on a washboard and then had to hang them on a line to dry.
Leona Sigwing showed them the size of the wagons that carried them across the prairie and all the things they needed for the trip and how they packed the wagons.
Louise Crable showed them a lot of items that were used back in the 1800s.
Donna Reddy and Laura Debus helped them roll out biscuits and make butter from cream. Later they ate the biscuits with the butter and apple butter.
Mary Conrad gave them a tour of the house and also showed them some of the antique toys that kids used to play with, they were all handmade and of course didn’t need electricity.
On Saturday, April 27, there is a quilt show until 4 p.m. at Grinter Place, 78th and K-32 in Kansas City, Kansas, with a talk about quilts scheduled at 1 p.m.
