Pioneer Farm: Living on a Farm in the 1880's

City children may have little experience with life on a farm, but in this book they will be introduced to life on a pioneer farm. Photographed on the Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, Minnesota, this book describes a typical day on the farm, and includes such activities as feeding the animals, washing laundry, threshing grain, gardening, churning butter, and baking. Sidebars include additional information and activities. This is a nice supplement for Minnesota history units.
