Greenville Historical Society

Mrs. Abernethy's Creative Cougars took me on a fantastic field trip today! We went to the Greenville Historical Society and the Erie Extension Canal Museum. My friend Civil War Sallie was excited to see there were lots of artifacts from the Civil War. The students wrote about some of the things we saw on Civil War Sallie's blog.
