Newburyport: Pioneer Living, a program that allows children to discover what it was like to be a pioneeer, visited the Bresnahan School on Thursday morning. Sean Brennan, 9, learned how the pioneers did laundry by hand; other activities showed how to make corn meal and pan for gold, but with "fool's gold" a.k.a. iron pyrite. Bryan Eaton/Staff Photo
