The Indigenous Peoples
What was it like to live on a farm in 1859, the year the Four Mile House was built? With our Homestead Trunk, your students will be able to compare the ways of our time to a much different era of washboards, candle-makers, buffalo chips, and much more.
With this living history experience, your students will take a trip back in time to the days of chalk, slates, and much stricter discipline in the one-room schoolhouse. Work through practical problems, arithmetic, tongue twisters, and more.
