The Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum

  Well, I finally feel like I've found where I belong! Namely, the Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum in Cleburne, Texas.

  The other day when I went job and museum hunting I was introduced to this wonderfully historic and gorgeous museum. The museum sits just on the edge of Lake Cleburne, and is on the site of not only the Chisholm Trail but what used to be the town of Wardville, which was also the county seat. I will be writing a little more in depth on the town and the trail in future posts.

  As of right now I am going to be a school marm in the 1868, white, one room school house. I will be taking one modern day 4th grade class a week and teaching them as if they were a class in the year 1868. I will be dressing in period costume which is one of the things that I am really enjoying! I am posting some pictures at the bottom of this postof my outfits and just some random photos that I took with my cell phone...thus the poor quality.

 Also if you are in the DFW area we will be having Pioneer Days on November 16th and 17th. We would love to have you out, and feel free to dress up! For more information on Pioneer Days visit:
