Colonial Life versus Life Today
People who lived during Colonial times had a very different life than we have today. For example, many of the city merchants were craftsmen, shoemakers, silversmiths, and blacksmiths. On the contrary, in cities today you can find large department stores, grocery stores, and even specialty stores, like music stores. Homes had windows that were covered in paper rather than the glass we use today. Also, the medicines that they had were unlike the modern kinds that we have today.

Not everything is different, however. In colonial times, people planted vegetable gardens behind their homes. Similarly, many families today plant their own gardens to grow fresh vegetables. Colonial families ate the same foods as we do today, like chicken, turkey, oatmeal, and fruits. Colonial children played games like hide-and-go-seek, hopscotch, and checkers. Likewise, children today also play these games.
