TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>)\u00a0\u2014 A local museum gave members of the community and surrounding areas a glimpse of what it was like to live during pioneer times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trying to see the world through a lens of which you didn’t live may be hard. That’s when the Pioneer Museum of Alabama<\/a> steps in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Pioneer Days is the museum’s biggest annual event,” Babara Tatom, Director of Pioneer Museum of Alabama, said. “It’s a time we bring demonstrators reenactors that demonstrate all different periods of Alabama history.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin Sanders, who lives in Elba, made the drive with her daughter and young cousins. She says Pioneer Day combines history with fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I just want them to have an appreciation for how much people used to struggle so they can value how easy it is to do things nowadays,” Sanders explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pioneer Day isn’t made up of only locals. Reenactors and demonstrators from around the country come to Troy to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Having a quality event like this, having skilled people that know what they are doing and having activities that the kids can participate in is important,” Tatom told TrojanVision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders told TrojanVision, she enjoyed her first experience at Pioneer Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is very well done. You can tell they put a lot of thought and effort into the structure of the activities as well as the museum itself and I would highly recommend that people bring their families here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pioneer Day takes place the second Friday and Saturday in October every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
