DOES IT HAVE APPS?
The phone Charlie Watson holds was high tech. In the 1890s.
The Rockdale Historical Society volunteer showed it off to a group of second graders Friday who weren’t quite sure what to make of it. The Rockdale Elementary School second grade toured the I&GN Historical Depot on the final day of Texas Public Schools Week, and also the final day before spring break throughout the state.
