Spring 2007 Living History Weeks photos

In the spring and fall each year. third and fourth grade students from all five Beavercreek elementary schools, two parochial schools,
and many homeschoolers visit Wartinger Historical Park to learn about early pioneer life. They do hands-on activities such as make
a rag doll, make butter, plant or harvest the garden (depending on the season), quilt, spin, finger weave, make candles, and do the laundry.  

Third graders from Fairbrook, Main, and Parkwood attended in the Spring 2007. Below are the photos from Spring 2007.
