Dear Jamie,
Your drawing of a cemetery with various types of grave markers is awesome. Your suggestion of going to the Nova Scotia Archives for more details about the people buried in old cemeteries is a wonderful idea. I like visiting archives – just as much as going to libraries or museums for information. Perhaps you will be a historian when you grow up!
Happy reading,
Jessica
Dear Ben,
Who gave you your 1925 coin? I thought it might be a Canadian dime, because you have drawn a sailboat on it, but then I checked and learned that the Bluenose – Canada’s sailing ambassador – wasn’t added to the dime until 1937. So, the mystery continues!
It is wonderful that you would consider putting your old coin in a time capsule or donating your treasure to a museum for safe keeping. Museums are great places to care for important objects and share them with the public for everyone to enjoy.
Happy reading,
Jessica
