Chillicothe City Schools -

Our Back in the Day VOICE group traveled back in time thanks to the Ross County Historical Society! 🕰️
Using our student interest inventory, these students were chosen due to their interest in being a historian. Students have been exploring life “back in the day” — baking 🍞from scratch, writing with quill pens 🖊️ and chalk, and studying artifacts from Camp Sherman and early settler days in Chillicothe.
Yesterday, they stepped into the past at the historic log house — shelling corn to make cornbread over a 🔥 , dehydrating🍎, and comparing old-fashioned transportation to today’s.🚙
What an incredible hands-on history experience! 💙
