All We Wanna Do Is... Take a Trip to Galena

All We Wanna Do is... Take a Trip to Galena
2 weeks ago, the 6th graders at the middle school I attend went south of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa. We even took an awesome coach bus there! 
Most of these pictures were taken from Ulysses S. Grants home. 
Ulysses S. Grantwas the 18th President of the United States from 1860-1877. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant was born April 27,1822. He died July 23, 1885. He and his family lived in Galena, Illinois. That's the house we visited in Galena.
 This is a photo of Grant's family
 This is a pic of their dining home in the home

 This is a pic of a...bed(Owww!)
 This is a photo of Grant's daughter Nellie bedroom
This is their kitchen with some mock food on the table
 Surprisingly , this is an old time stove
 This is the storage room with kitchen utensils

 Here's a pic of me & some friends who took a pic with Grant's wife
 I really don't know what this is, but I took it inside a Blacksmiths' shop
 This is also a pic that was taken inside of the Blacksmiths' shop
 I could've bought a tiny glass bottle of real gold... but instead I got a harmonica & a Hershey's bar! (Way better right?!)
 This is a pic I took of the Mississippi River on the bus
This is the view from a cable car that went up a hill in Wisconsin
