The Oxford Museum

Today we went to the Oxford Museum. It was very fun this is what we learned, You had to step on something to pump the air so they could play the piano, Have you ever heard some on say ”Pinch of salt”? Well in the old an days they had these little containers that ha salt in them and you would to pinch the salt. The Oxford Museum was a bank and now it is a Museum. The Oxford Museum was build in 1975. They have stuff we don’t have now like Headed stoves they had some troubles heating it. I really recommend going there!

Oxford historical Museum

At the oxford historical Museum I saw things that if I was alive when the things were there like. A fridge that to keep cool you have to have someone bring ice to your house and they put the ice in a box and on the other side there is the food for the ice to keep cool. Also there is a thing that if one of your family dies then back then people would cry a lot so they would take a bottle and fill the bottle with tears and wear black. When the tears evaporate that is when you can get back to your life and stop wearing black and move on with your life. Another thing is, 3D glasses I saw a picture of wolfs they looked like they were there. Back then you could not just do nothing all day even playing a piano had hard work. You had to pump air in to a bag so the piano. That is all of the amazing things I saw at the oxford historical Museum.

The Oxford Museum

The oxford Museum is about stuff back in the days. Stuff they used instead of the stuff we have now. The Museum was made in 1975. The Museum was a the Oxford Bank but it is now the Oxford Museum. Like some of the electric stuff we have they had heated stoves and they had to work for like 1 hour turning the handle and rinsing the water then drying it in the dark basement or cellar. They also did not throw anything out so when they took there hair off there brush they would store it in a container and save it for when they are bored in the winter and so they use the hair to make an art work or use horse hair to make couches. You should take your family some day and have them remember what they used.

Oxford Museum

My Favorite part of the museum was the big glass with the stuff about the lone ranger and the radio lone ranger. Also did you know that the dentist was also the barber. And if it was cold outside back then and you could not go outside so when you would have to go to the bathroom you would have to go to the bathroom in a bucket. Also if you had a toothake they had no shots to numb it so they would rip it out of your mouth. These are some things I learned at the oxford museum.

oxford Museum visit

Today I visited  Oxford Museum for a school filed trip. And I liked it. One of the things they taught me was that barbers where dentist back then. The thing I liked the most is where in one part of the museum they showed us how fire trucks would have the alarm when there was a fire.  So what they did was that the fire alarm of the fire truck had a circle that was colored black and on the back of it it had a leaver so then one of the fire fighters would spin the leaver and it would make the alarm so people would know theirs a fire. They also taught us that the Oxford Museum used to be the Oxford bank.

One day Mrs Hay’s class went to the Oxford Museum! We were so exited, the whole class walked there. When we got there, and are class had to split up! We learned that you have to crank the washing meshing to clean your close. Also if you have to go to the bathroom at night you have to go in a chamber pot! Another thing is they had to make decoration out of there or your  hair!  We had so much fun! I hope that we go again! If you are ever in Michigan you should see the Oxford Museum!


 

Oxford Museum field trip

In this field trip I learnd lots of things of oxford’s history. The most intrsting I learnd in my opinion was the sports stuff that was awsome the thing i most wonderd was why sports were like that back then there was a bat that just looked like tree wood. I loved the museum trip I lernd so much about Oxford’s history. Also there were alot of old farm tools and pictures of houses it was cool and they had to go in the bathroom in pots, and one of the oxford baseball players was on the tigers and he skiped one of the tigers games to play in oxford that field trip was awsome

the oxford museum

Hi my favorite part of the museum was when we learned about when oxford was a gravel pit and, the saloon was also the dentist. I learned that the high school was very small and it was where the old fire station was. Also when you had a bad tooth you would have to go to the barber shop and get your teeth puled out, can you believe that the dentist was also a barber shop. The last thing i learned was that was oxford was once the gravel capital of the world and where water stone is used to be a gravel pit.

The fancy iron

One day an old lady came in an old iron shop. She was looking for one perfect iron because her iron broke when she was ironing some clothes. She kept looking until she saw the perfect iron. It was beautiful, light pink, shiny,  fancy and it even had a ribbon on it! She picked the fancy iron up and  said to the lady ”Hello mam I would like to buy this fancy iron please.” After the old lady paid for the fancy iron she got in her car and went home. When she got home she got her wrinkly clothes.
