Designed to reflect the diverse population of the state, this program explores the achievements and contributions women have made to Colorado history, from Mary Cawker and Millie Booth of Four Mile House up to the present day.
We are working to redesign and improve this trunk — more details available soon!
What was it like to live on a farm in 1859, the year Four Mile House was built? With our Homestead Trunk, 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.
