AWHC--Farewell for the Season

It has been a fun year at the American West Heritage Center. We enjoy our co-workers as well as the guests who come to visit us there to experience 'Living History'.

Today was our last day of Fall school groups. In Spring and Fall we host school classes who come to learn what life was in 'the old days'. It is always fun to take the children through various stations. Some stations we have for them from the pioneer era include candle dipping, pioneer school, pioneer games, visiting pioneer cabins, pioneer cooking, pulling handcarts, woodwright shoppe, and spinning wool. The children generally enjoy their time with us.

When we take school groups to the 1917 era farm, stations for the kids include running the cider press, making jam, shelling corn, milking the cow, visiting the farm house, doing laundry, visiting the outbuildings, playing 1917 era group games, and visiting the blacksmith shop.

It's always fun at the AWHC. Maybe we'll see you there sometime. Bye for now!
