The below letters represent a typical response from teachers and
students after touring the Suttons Corner Fontier Country Store Museum. This particular
group were 8th grade history students from Southwest Georgia. Dear Mr.
& Mrs Campbell, What a great time we had visiting with you and touring the
museum! I think you'll be able to tell from the kid's letters how much they enjoyed
themselves. By the way, it was their idea to write to you individually. I hope we
can visit again soon. Thanks so much for having us. Sincerely, Greta
Dear Mr. Campbell,Our visit to your museum was very nice. We thank you for
letting us come; you have some very interesting things in your museum. I hope we will be
able to come again to visit your museum, it was like walking into a whole different
world. I liked it when you told the story about the children rubbing up against the
counter. I liked it also when you said that when you held the stone that you could
actually feel their handprint in the rock; I thought that was really neat. I wish that
we could have stayed longer so that you could have told us more stories.
Thanks! Melissa Sanders
Dear Mr. Campbell,May I say thank
you for all the hard work you put into your museum. It was amazing to see all the
different artifacts. I have to say my favorite part of the trip was how you had a story
behind every different treasure in the Suttons Corner Country Store Museum. When I told
my little sister about all the different things I saw, like the petticoat counter, the
Indian artifacts and the old-fashioned post office, she was astounded. The first thing
she did was go and ask my mom when she will go. I hope we shall see you
again. Sincerely, Scott Grubbs
Dear Mr. Campbell,Our visit
to your museum was wonderful. It was really nice of you to let us come. I really enjoyed
all the stories you told us. I especially enjoyed the story about the drummer boy and
the drumstick. You had so much nice stuff and a story to go with almost every thing. I
really liked it and thank you for having us. Sincerely, Krystal
Cadle
Dear Mr. Campbell,We we went to your
museum Thursday, there was lots of old stuff there that I haven't seen on the Antiques
Roadshow. I liked all the stories. The one that was strange was how the children rubbed
the counter at a curve. I also liked the old gun above the fireplace; I don't know what
it was. Thank you for letting us come. Sincerely, Brian Poole
Dear
Mr. Campbell,I really enjoyed the visit to your wonderful museum. All of the
artifacts you had there were very well preserved. I liked the story about the drum
stick; it very touching. Sincerely, Tony House
Dear Mr. Campbell,I really enjoyed the tour of the museum. I learned a lot about the past. I'm ready
for it to be open to the public so my parents can see it. I was particularly interested
in the post office. I had always wondered where they got their mail back then. Thank you
for letting us visit. Sincerely, Bobby Goodbread
Dear Mr.
Campbell,We enjoyed our visit to museum so much. It was like a different world
inside. The stories you told about everything made it seem more interesting. I was
especially fascinated by the way the candy counter was curved from the children leaning
against it. The story about your trip to China was funny. Again, thank you for taking us
through your museum. Sincerely, Mollie Sisson |
