Two weeks ago, the seventh grade classes from Rappahannock Elementary School took their annual trip to Richmond, Williamsburg and Jamestown. Teachers assigned five youngsters to keep a diary of their adventures and the following is their report.
On Wednesday, January 21, 1981, we left Rappahannock County Elementary School and our destination was Richmond. We arrived at the state Capitol building. There we met our delegate, George Beard of Culpeper. We also toured the rest of the building and learned some of the most important events about Virginia’s history.
Next we toured the Science Museum. There unlike many other museums, we were asked to touch and play with everything. There were mirrors, telescopes, and weird fish. We ate lunch there on the buses.
Finally we toured the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was very interesting. We were able to visit priceless exhibits throughout the museum, such as the Faberge and Dali jewelry collections. (Henry B. Wood) We arrived in Williamsburg at 4:00 in the afternoon. One of the first places we visited was the Information Center where we saw the very enjoyable movie, "The Story of a Patriot". This movie was about a colonial family, which was rather wealthy. The man of this particular movie was John Frye, who worked very hard to be like his father, who had passed away. It was about the triumphs and letdowns of the Frye family as Mr. Frye served in the House of Burgesses. After dinner we went to the Wax Museum. This was very interesting and sort of scary. The people there were made of wax; they moved.
