Pioneer Life Youth Tour
3rd to 8th grades
April
1- October 31
This
hands-on tour is a favorite with two full hours of activity. Students participate in pioneer chores, tour an 1883 farmhouse,
grind corn in an 1860’s barn, build their own log cabin, pack a wagon for Oregon, cut wood with a crosscut saw, do laundry
with a scrub board and wringer, write with a quill pen, and more. Stay after your tour to picnic on the grounds, shop in the
country store, spend a little more time on that log cabin, or hold your own group meeting.
"We had such great trips. The kids think "it was the best trip they've ever had!" Great experience and the parents loved it as well. We all learn so much as we listen AND participate! Thanks
for all you do."
–4th Grade Teacher, Lake Oswego
