Step back into the 1890’s and see how different it was to attend a one-room school (with someone other than your siblings). Explore daily life from this time period through artifacts, stories, and reciting real lessons that students did in their classrooms.

Who will be the spelling bee champion or have the best penmanship? Students will also compare their visit to what they experience in schooling today. 

Bring your shopping list along as we take a trip back to the time of streetcars and neighborhood grocery stores. Visit the museum’s Buffett Grocery Store exhibit and discover the fun of shopping for penny candy. Also learn how small grocery stores played an integral role in Omaha communities.
