Historical Times

Can History Be fun? We are about to find out as we explore a few exciting time periods of the past. These time periods were chosen at random and are not at all in order. Our plan this week is to explore some key times in history, learn a little, and have a lot of fun!

The time periods we will visit are

The Wild West
Pre-Historic Age
The Colonial Period
The Pre Colonial Americas

Plans for the week include a wide age range of activities, including:

Visiting Gold Mines and Panning for Gold & Gems
Excavating Dinosaurs trapped in Ice
Creating Pueblo Style Pottery
Making Nordic Stone Age Bread
Visiting the Etowah Indian Mounds.

As always, you are welcome to join us. The supply list and schedule are listed below.
