Children's Day at Missouri Town 1855

Are you looking for something different to do this Children's Day? Wouldn't it be nice to visit a place where iPods, Facebook and other means of modern computer technology and social media are not the dominating activity of the day? Oh yes we all enjoy these modern conveniences but for a few hours, imagine life without them.
