Day's on the pioneer farm


Mr. and Mrs. Buckley traveled from New York to Indiana in
wagon.  2 oxen would pull the wagon. What they brought was a axe, musket, dishes, silverware, mom and dads rocking chair and bed, basket, cast iron pot, seeds, few clothes, blankets, knives, bow an arrows and candles.

What the pioneers would is build there house first. They would cut down trees for lumber. They would stuff there mattress once a year. The kids slept in the loft of the house. They would grow and cut straw to make mattress.  






 

How the Pioneers would make cornmeal is first to grow the corn. Then they would pull the corn and bring it to the house. Then they would take it and grind the corn with a rock. The corn would turn into powder. They would gather all the ingredients. Then they would mix ingredients and pour it in a bowl and cook it.


Everyday the children would have to do chores. It would take them 8 minutes to get to the creek and it would take em 10 minutes to get back. So that means 18 minutes total but he kids would have to do that 4 times a day so it takes 1hour and 12 minutes out of there day.  They had to collect the water in buckets.
