Did you guys have a good time? I couldn't attend this week, but it's a neat place to go. I used to live right near there, on the other side of that Lutheran church there. But, in all that time of living there, I never visited the homestead until I took my kids on a field trip! Do you find this valuable?

It was very good!

They have an extensive history of southwest artifacts and photos.

We got to grind corn ,make a basket, see and touch many objects including wool and the yarn made from a Navajo loom.

I would highly recommend it .The class was 50 cents a student for 1 and a half instruction.

They have tours of the 17 room house after 12;00 on weekdays.I've done that before.
