In August, kids can travel back in time to the pioneer days with the Grand County Historical Association. This multi-day program will have a different theme each day. Families can join the Historical Association for all 3 days and get a discount, or choose the days that interest them most. Children can experience family life by doing traditional chores, sitting in a one-room schoolhouse, playing games in the school yard, taking time to be a little more formal with a tea party and get creative with crafts to end the weekend. The program will take children on a journey through time from August 12 to 14 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Friday, August 12, features an introduction to pioneer life and duties. Saturday August 13 is Pioneer Schools Day. Sunday, August 14, offers board games, manners, crafts and a high tea.
Registration for the program is now open and will be available on the Historical Association’s social media pages or by stopping by the museum. Payment is required to reserve registration places. The cost per day is $25 for members or $35 for non-members. Register for all 3 days and receive a discount: $65 for GCHA members or $95 for non-members.
