Whiting Reunion at the Homestead






The Whiting Reunion was a grand affair. There were over 1,000 people there. There were a lot of activities over 4 days. We especially liked the "Whiting Village" where there were 30 different activities going on, such as: rope making, laundry skills, cookie making, and cow milking. We all helped run the cow milking and roping station. We learned a lot about our ancestors and felt great appreciation for their sacrifices.
