Step Back In Time

This is a 2 hour interactive field trip program which includes a guided tour of the Old Davie School and Pioneer Village. Participants step back in time to investigate life as it was for Davie’s pioneers through artifacts, photographs, and hands-on activities.

Activities and stations may include participating in a 1920s classroom, writing with an old fashioned dip pen, exploring a replica 1908 pioneer house, squeezing fresh orange juice, pumping water from a well, learning to quilt, and with a group of over fifty students, interacting with live farm animals provided by Project Stable
(http://www.projectstable.com).

The Step Back In Time Program is offered Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, by reservation only. The program takes place between 10:00 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., including a break for lunch. Students should bring their own bag lunches.

Cost: $5 per person; one chaperone required per ten students, admitted free.
