Cotton Museum

Its fall break week for the older two kids so we decided to squeeze in a few field trips with less running this week. We enjoyed the Cotton Museum about an hour away.  Cotton is such a fascinating crop to me in South Carolina.  They told us that mid October through November is when they harvest the crops.  It was fascinating learning about Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin and all the things that developed to make cotton harvesting easier in the south. And we just had to stop and see these cotton crops first hand on the side of the road too.
