Step into the past and discover history in a fun, immersive way with Junior Historians! This program series is designed for ages 5-8, and invites young learners to explore history through interactive activities and playful discovery. Each session combines historical learning with practical, hands-on activities that bring history to life. Each class will cover a different theme, with a special emphasis on the Farm Park’s unique history, encouraging children to learn by touching, trying, and experiencing real tools, techniques, and traditions from long ago. Your child will leave with a richer understanding of history and a greater appreciation for the simple joys of farm life.
Step back in time and experience what everyday life was like for children growing up on the American frontier! Students will discover what it took to work, play, and help their families in a time before modern conveniences, learning about the chores and responsibilities that were a part of daily life. Through hands-on activities, kids will experience some of those tasks for themselves – from carrying a yoke and bucket and trying their hand at old-fashioned laundry to making their very own corn husk doll. This engaging, experiential program helps students understand frontier life not just by reading about it, but by putting history into practice and experiencing the past for themselves.
This is a drop off program, but parents are welcome to stay during the class. Please be sure to dress for the weather and bring water.
