It was a wonderful experience being a tour leader for a day. Sharing the history I know to the 6th graders was very interesting. They were excited to see what was next, especially finding the items on the scavenger hunt. The 6th graders thought we were really important because they listened to me, and they participated in what I asked them to do. Once I told them to get away from the road, they listened right then and never got close to the road again. The most interesting thing I learned about while preparing for this project was the Ella Smith house. I got to go in her house and look around at some of her dolls, and I loved how the pigeon house was still there. Something that popped out to me was that her husband bought her that house as a wedding gift. It was a privilege to be able to teach 6th graders about our downtown Roanoke and it was a great experience for me as well getting to know about our downtown Roanoke.
