I tagged along with my daughter on a field day. Besides the long drive all the way down to League…read moreCity, it was a lot of fun and was definitely worth the trip. The whole program went from about 1 to 3:30 or 4. It started off with a tour through time explaining how folks lived life back in the day, and letting the kids experience old timey PE games and exercises. It ended with a real lesson in the Old School complete with old ink pens, inkwells, primer books, soap stone and slate boards. Highly recommend for the 6-12 year old crowd.

Do not visit Dickinson without going to the Dickinson Railroad Museum. The two beautifully…read morerestored stations alone are worth a visit! Inside they have the nicest folks who will show you around and give you the history of Dickinson and the part the railroad played in its history. One entire building dedicated to displays and artifacts. The grounds are very nicely landscaped and they have a fantastic room which is available to rent for larger get-togethers. The parking lot entrance is off the side street along the west side of the Museum. We are SO GLAD that we stopped in - it was a wonderful visit. THANK YOU!!!!!

Over the next four minutes, the dot silently swept across the sky and disappeared. Seven humans, 257 miles up in space, moving at 17153 miles per hour. Thanks, NASA. Keep on keeping on.
