Dalnavert Museum

The Kindergarten children who spend their afternoons at K.I.D.S. Inc. enjoyed the field trip to Dalnavert Museum. For some of them, it was an adventure just going on the bus as it was their first time. Dalnavert is a restored home that was built in 1895 so the tour was like walking into the Victorian...
