120 Third Grade Students Tour our Museum
from Riverview and Lindo Park Elementary Schools!

Chris Herzog greeted students, teachers and parents and shared with them some of the history of Maine Avenue and early Lakeside. The students then entered the church where they loved ringing the bell and hearing the story of ringing the bell seven times on Mondays during WWI.

Doris Fletcher shared a song on the square piano that came from New York around the Horn to the Lakeside Inn. Chris told the story and showed pictures of the Lakeside Inn.

Students were invited into the Needlework Area where they viewed displays of quilting, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, darning, fillet lace and tatting. Ladies from the Woman's Club of Lakeside demonstrated how to tat, quilt and darn. Maggie Stutz taught the girls how to crochet, even how to crochet with out the crochet hook.

In the sanctuary Edna Kouns showed the students a hide that Erman had tanned and discussed how to tan and the value of tanning in the early days. Chris then told the history of the Old Community Church and of Lakeside.
