Rural Life Museum.

The rural life museum is located in Baton Rouge, Lousiana. It is a museum full of ancient collections and knowledge. The main point of the museum is to teach people how older americans lived on a plantation. The museum tells a great story and has the world larget collection of outhouses. The museum actually began as a mans private collection but then became a well known museum.
The museum shows the life of people back from the past. It demonstrates their way of life. They have different shows and presentations of how they lived their everyday lives. You are able to eat some of the food. You can even participate in helping the workers utilize the old machines
The museum is essentially a collection of seven buildings that illustrates the various cultural influences of Louisiana's settlers. The Barn holds many items from prehistoric times to the 20th century. All of the buildings have something interesting to go see and are all functioning. The workers dress in old-timey clothes as well to give you a real sense of how life back then was.
I have actually visited the museum once before. Although im not claiming to be an expert on rural life, i must say i have learned alot. A tour guide will guide us through the village to teach us everything we need to know about the museum. The guides are volunteer workers and guide for the fun of it. That proved the dediction they have toward the museum.
I am looking forward to going to the rural life museum. I have been before but am anxious to go see any new collections that they might have added. I also will enjoy being out of school. A terrible field trip beats an awesome day at school. I hope all goes well.
