A visit to a local landmark for a school project led us to #houstonjail yesterday. We’ve been by there many times...but our son hadn’t really “studied” all the markers completely. This time he was able to answer some questions and look up additional information to supplement the pieces of history he gathered there. He is being encouraged to get photos and info from at least 15 markers that he routinely passes by but hasn’t stopped to fully explore, and we are really enjoying the process along with him. Even if we, as parents, have stopped by these locations many times...it’s fun to re-explore the area with your kids and learn something from them. 〰️〰️📚🕋📓〰️〰️ #smithlakelandmarks #historicalmarkers #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #history #explore #community #historicalsite #historicallandmark #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakehistory #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakealabama #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Old Jail At Houston) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwwSFXL9qH/?utm_medium=tumblr
