nativesNatives & Newcomers (Off-site)

Join us as we explore the history of Ohio at the time of statehood (1803).  When hosting in your classroom/school, our interpreter comes dressed in woodland Native American clothing.  They will also have a wigwam and trade goods.  Students will have the opportunity to sit in and around the wigwam as they learn about daily life of the Native Americans and European fur traders that first settled these lands.  They will also be able to learn about traditional foods, farming techniques and explore the concept and practice of trade.  If time allows within the program, students may also help make a traditional cordage bracelet to take home.

Pioneer Playtimes (On-site)

What kinds of toys and games did kids play in pioneer times? Through this program students get up and move while learning about activities of the past. Using primary sources and artifacts, students will understand how play incorporated the skills needed as an adult and how toys were made from resources available.
