For the museum project, I chose to go to the Folsom History Museum. The museum was small and colorful. When you walked in, you could see a large quilt with lots of color and patterns. The museum was mostly about how gold in california was discovered, how people dressed, and how people survived. It also led into prison, and punishments they had. There was two separate rooms at the museum. One room was a Famous Baseball room and another room was for the museum itself. The museum had multiple items…

Although this is Wilbur's home, i’m here to converse with someone else, the one that saved Wilbur's life in the first place. As I open the doors to the barn, the musky scent of farm animals and manure hit me full force. I take a step forward and hear the crunch of hay that was scattered around the barn floor under my feet.
