(Le Mars) — More than 260 elementary school children from each school within Plymouth County had the opportunity to visit the Plymouth County Historical Museum Monday during the annual “May Day” celebration. The purpose of the program is to introduce students to Plymouth County history. Several of the students were dressed in the pioneer-era clothing. Volunteers informed the students of how life was during the turn of the 19th century. The students were able to try their hand at milking, they explored the two cabins on the museum grounds, learned about early age agriculture, and even learned to dance with a May Day pole. This marked the 18th year the Plymouth County Historical Museum has hosted the annual event.
