PROJECTS FROM SARAH JANE'S ERA

What was it like to be a pioneer girl or boy in the early days of New Hampshire and in other parts of our country? The pioneering era began in the area where I live, the Pemi-Baker Valley of Grafton County, around 1760, and earlier in southern New Hampshire.

In other areas of what became the United States, the first settlers were setting up homes in the mid and latter 1800s.

  • What did they do for work and play?
  • What did they eat?
  • How did they cook?
  • What were their modes of travel?
  • How did they make their clothing?
  • How did they keep warm?

I'll explore these questions with activities and projects for youngsters through expanding upon the life of Sarah Jane and her family.
