It has been said that nothing in the American scene has changed so much in the last half-century as country life. This kit offers the opportunity to explore the sights, sounds, aromas, sweat, tears, work and laughter that have gone into the farms where today's adults were children. This kit is for those who remember another pace of life, and for those who wish they did.

Manual. Ways to use all of the kit pieces, program suggestions and an extensive list of resources. (98 pages)
