Helen Keller Museum

Firecracker had learned about Helen Keller at school.  Some how he found out that her birth place was only a little ways away from my Father in law's house.  He made us promise that the next time we went up there we would try and go.  Well, we weren't planning on going up until November for thanksgiving like we do every year.  However, we made an unexpected trip up when we evacuated for Irma.  So we ended up going to the museum. It was really neat!  
They had all kinds of things that I never even thought about a blind person using.  Like a scrabble board that has a raised waffle pattern so the pieces stay in place. And playing cards that had braille on them.

Apparently, Helen had a genius I.Q. she graduated from the sister college to Harvard and she studied in Italian, Greek, French and English!  It was a really enlightening trip.  Even the kids liked it, and of course it's always cool to put learning into action.

This picture wasn't one I intended on taking, but the lady that worked at the museum was insistent that I take the kid's picture in the dining room.  It was easier just to humor her than to fight it.

   
Have a great day!
