October 14, 2016, we went
out to Port Hudson State Historic Site for their homeschool day. They had
several stations set up to teach about the Civil War. They included women
in the war, medical practice, musket firing and uniform requirements, cannon
firing, soldier rations, native soldiers in the war, and the Navy battle at
Port Hudson. This field trip never disappoints, as there is always so
much to learn.
After visiting the stations, several of us stayed on the grounds to picnic, play, hike, and visit the museum. It was a beautiful day to be outside. The trip proved to be quite a good homeschool day filled with history, physical education, and visiting with friends.
