Eye Spy
People have lived on Cumberland for centuries and were able to get what they needed to survive from the island’s resources. Let’s play Eye Spy and see if you can discover some things that were used in the past!
A. | I spy a cistern that collected WATER for the Carnegies. |
B. | I spy wildlife that was hunted for FOOD. |
C. | I spy Spanish Moss that was used by the Timucuans to make CLOTHING. |
D. | I spy a wall with oyster shells. The shells were fired with sand and water to make tabby providing SHELTER. |
These are just a few examples. Other resources provided medicine, building materials, and a way to make money. Keep your eyes open for things you could use if you had to live here!
Marvelous Marshes
Millions of plants and animals thrive in the marsh. Most creatures are just visitors looking for shelter or food in the grass or by the water’s edge. Take a stroll on the boardwalk looking for signs of life in the marsh. Circle the ones that you find!
