About Us
Classroom Presentations
Living History classroom presentations provide an exciting opportunity for students to explore life as it was in the past. To see and touch objects from the past brings history to life. These one hour classroom programs are designed to complement Social Studies units at various grade levels with many hands on artifacts. In addition, teachers can opt to have students do a single period appropriate craft for a small fee.
On Site Field Trips
Venture into the Sierra Nevada foothills near Placerville and step back in time to relive a page of history. Students spend either half a day or a full day practicing the crafts and skills of a bygone era as they spend time in a quiet primitive outdoor setting. We provide the covered wagon, tepee, or canvas tents and artifacts to set the stage for the experience. Costumes are available for rent.
School Field Trips
Often, time, distance, or bus fees makes a trip to our rural site impractical. For those situations I have designed a program where I can bring the "field trip" to the school. I set up the craft stations on the school grounds and students rotate through the stations. In addition, we have a covered wagon or a Sioux Indian tepee, or canvas tents that can be set up when appropriate for a particular era for an additional charge.
