This kit was designed to supplement a visit to the Farm House. The purpose of this kit is to teach people about the usual activities that would take place in a Victorian kitchen. The best way to learn about them is to study the women who did most of their work in the kitchen. By understanding the duties performed by and expected of women at this time, the audience will learn about lifestyles and technology in history and how they have changed over time. The kit may be borrowed for a period of two weeks, depending on demand.
Borrowers are responsible for picking up the kit and returning it.
With advance notice, pick-ups and deliveries may be arranged for weekends. An inventory sheet is included in the kit. This must be completed and signed by the borrowing party upon return. This will be helpful information for future kit users. Using objects in the classroom is an opportunity to develop a reverence for things that are significant.
