    Crossroads Village. It’s an authentic Great Lakes town from the turn of the last century, with more than 34 historic structures and a thriving community.
    Ride the Huckleberry Railroad, catch a show at the Colwell Opera House, or learn a trade from one of our craftspeople. It’s a place out of history where you can make a little history of your own

    That is a nice stove. Imagine you wouldn't want to sit too close to that for writing after lunchtime. :sleeping:

    radiators yep when they built the new place, slate boards yep, only tablets were of paper and you made marks on the paper with a wooden stick with charcoal in it.:D and yep we walked to and from. Everyday started with the pledge of allegiance, prayer at lunch- brown bag or metal can( if you were better off) memorize the Constitution (the whole thing) and this was a public school. ( little derailment here sorry just got reminiscing)
