Life at the Gibbons House
 |
 |
|
|
Step back to a time when cast iron stoves were used for baking and clothes were wrung through a wringer. The Gibbons House was the home of the Hagley foreman. Students will participate in daily nineteenth century activities, such as baking cookies, doing laundry, and dressing in period clothing. Students will also take part in short lessons in the Brandywine Manufacturers’ Sunday School, which provided schooling for mill workers’ children. |
