October 4, 2023, Peru – Class visits are among the best happenings at the Babbie Farm and Rural Learning Museum. Peru Elementary School 4th grade teacher Mary Jo Trombley brought her class to the museum this morning. She remarked, “The kids are thrilled when they see what’s going on here, seeing what happened one hundred and two hundred years ago.”

The students experienced the museum in small groups. Some visited the blacksmith shop, while others were in the farmhouse kitchen or granary or visited the general store. The museum has almost twenty buildings. Riding on a hay wagon was one of their most popular things.
