Fort Boonesborough
Don’t ever call me completely punctual. We studied early pioneers and settlers of Kentucky at the beginning of last school year. A trip to Fort Boonesborough – the first pioneer settlement in KY – was planned then, but we never made it. My children never fear, though – eventually I tend to fulfill my promises.

We had a great time touring the fort, watching an action-packed film, visiting with reinactors and taking a walk down to the beach located on the KY River. Field trips are worth their weight in gold!

I love field trips like this. I am a history buff, but not the kind that studies battles and such. I like to find out how people lived without all the modern conveniences that we take for granted today. It looks like you had an awesome day.
