The Sanford Student Museum is located in Sanford, Florida.  This "Romanesque revival style" school building was built in 1902 and was the area's first high school, Sanford High School.  In 1911, it became a grammar school.  The museum is run by a partnership between The University of Central Florida and the Seminole County Public Schools.  In 1984, the Sanford Student Museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Today, the museum is a fun place for a field trip to learn about Sanford history.
The exterior was brick, just like the old school houses from the past.  You can also see a bell that one of the volunteers rang before the tour started.  Once inside, the classrooms were turned into different eras and places.  My favorite room was the Turn of the Century Classroom.  I enjoyed learning the history of the dunce cap.  I never knew the name came from an actual person, that was very interesting.  It was also cool seeing the schoolwork from the past and how it was all written in cursive.  The Pioneer Exhibit was interesting as well.  I enjoyed learning the evolution of how they lived.  What I mean by that is, seeing how they started.  For example, their original housing only had three sides.  As time went on, their housing improved.  The pioneers eventually ended up living in full log cabins.  I also had a nice time in The Gardens.  It was neat learning the different planting styles of the pioneers and the Timucuan people.
I had a great time at the museum.  Learning about the past is interesting to me.  Seeing all the old pictures in the halls was so cool.  The first graduating class from Sanford High School was four females!!  WOW!!  We really have come a long way as a society.  I hope we continue to grow and in a positive way.
