From a time well before cell phones and video games...

Students from Butler, Ballard, Miami and Adrian fourth grade classes enjoyed visiting the past today at Frontier Village in Adrian.

The youngsters got a close look at how life was when machines slowly began to take over early in the 20th century. The visit also included some tuition on trades such as blacksmithing, running a steam engine and how a sawmill is operated.

Students also took a train ride, attended a one room schoolhouse and church before the day was over.
