Kids at Fayette
Boys from Fayette
Gear up your imagination. Pretend you are growing up in the village of Fayette, Michigan, more than 100 years ago. What would your life be like? In 1880, almost half the people in Fayette were children under 17 years old. In many ways, their lives were different than ours. But, kids then—as today—helped around the house, went to school and played games. Some worked at paying jobs. Explore this online version of the Kids at Fayette exhibit to discover how kids lived at Fayette. Be sure to visit the exhibit in person next time you are near Escanaba or Manistique.
