N.B. Historical Museum hosts Pioneer Children Chores & Games program, Aug. 24
For pioneer families, many chores had to be done daily: gathering wood, hauling water, washing clothes, and tending the garden. Because there was so much to be done, every member of the household was expected to earn their keep and children as young as three were doing housework. Although they worked hard, pioneer children liked to have fun just like children today and had a variety of games they played.
