The Walden School Middle School recently visited a local treasure: Pennsylvania Colonial Plantation. They played colonial games including hoop rolling, game of graces, and cup-and-ball. They explored the 18th century house and were shocked by the narrow, curving staircases that would have had to be traversed, often in the dark. A highlight of their visit was candle-making, requiring them to patiently dip and re-dip their wick many times until a candle had sufficiently built up. To experience chores of the colonial era, they got a chance to saw wood and see what it was like to carry buckets of water using a yoke.
