Spring 2008  Living History 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, Parkwood, and Main attended in the Spring 2008. Below are the photos taken of Spring 2008.
