GRADE 5 Decorative Arts
After an 8-minute slide introduction, each half of the class spends about 20 minutes touring the inside of the Wichita Cottage (reception hall, parlor, dining room, and bedroom) and 20 minutes viewing the back porch, kitchen, and bathroom. The design and decoration of each room illustrates the values and styles of a typical Wichita home of 1890 Kitchen activities offer a chance to use an apple peeler, coffee grinder, and crimping iron.
