PIONEER MUSEUM OF ALABAMAThe Pioneer Museum of Alabama has become a living history classroom for thousands of
school children who visit and are fascinated by the various demonstrations conducted.
The Hands-on-History Program, funded by Alabama Power Foundation in 2004, was
developed by the museum in 1997 to provide an opportunity for students to experience life
in a log cabin. Adaptable for elementary through high school students, the program
leads our children to explore life before electricity. Activities for the students
include cooking at the wood stove and fireplace, churning butter, fetching
water, sweeping the yards with handmade straw brooms, feeding the chickens and gathering
eggs, and taking a tour of the museum which includes a spinning and weaving demonstration
that goes from making thread from raw cotton all the way to the loom.
