The classic one-room schoolhouse at Tubac Presidio:
Here are some punishments for bad little boys and girls in 1848. Notice how fighting and quarreling earn you 5 lashes. The heinous offense of boys and girls playing together earns 4. But the worst thing...the crime that gets you 10 lashes...is...gasp...playing cards. Oh, the horror.
A stove like my dad remembers (he also remembers the chairs above):
The Tubac Presidio is an awesome place with all sorts of interesting history and juicy stories. See my next couple of posts.
Tubac is south of Tucson, just a few miles north of the border to Mexico. The Presidio is a State Park, and the modest entrance fee is well worth it. http://www.tubacpp.com/
