Allison and Robert E. Lee left 625 Wham Drive and went to Allison's house for the weekend. Allison, Robert E. Lee, and Allison's mom went to Mt. Vernon to the Jefferson County Historical Museum. Robert E. Lee loved the museum and got to see a surgical kit from the Civil War. The museum had artifacts from many times in history. It had a dentist chair and many artifacts from even before Robert E. Lee's time. The museum contained ballots for governor elections from the 1930s and dental tools. The nice man at the museum took out the surgical kit and took a picture with us. One of the facts that the man mentioned was that the kit did not include anesthesia. Robert E. Lee found this interesting, because this is something that was implemented after the Civil War. The injured people had to endure a great amount of pain when having wounds treated. Allison and Robert E. Lee traveled 193.4 miles for a grand total traveled of 2,723.72 miles. Allison hopes to return to the museum to learn more about history and the types of products used.
