When I Was Young in Worthington: 1870s

Granby Elementary School sixth grade classes wrote illustrated books chronicling youth experiences in Worthington during every decade between 1800 and 1990. The book, "When I Was Young in the Mountains" by Cynthia Rylant was used to facilitate discussion of contemporary life experiences of children in Worthington. Students worked in small groups to research aspects of life in Worthington during a particular decade prior to creating the books. The focus of this book is the decade 1870 to 1879.
