Part of the fun of Farmersville 1900, held Oct. 11 and 12, is dressing up in period costume.

A group of kids recently had a chance to step back in time and experience life in Farmersville more than a century ago. For over 20 years the community has worked to produce Farmersville 1900, an annual event allowing fourth graders to spend two days immersed in their city’s history. For the full story and additional photos see the Oct. 17 edition. Video of the event is below.
