CASPER, Wyo. – The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center is calling all young explorers to join free youth programs at 10 a.m. every Saturday in October.
Explorers need to know how to chart their travels to return home safely. On October 16, Hands-on History Club will teach the skill of documenting and reading topographic maps through a creative activity of mapping playdough mountains. The Trails Center’s exciting October lineup also features wagon packing, pioneer pastimes, and life on the trail.
- October 9: Pioneer Games (30 minutes)
- October 16: Hands on History Club (1 hour)
- October 23: Life on the Trail (30 minutes)
- October 30: Morning Movie – Meek’s Cutoff (2 hours)
While Hands-on History Club classes are geared for children ages seven through eleven years old, all ages are welcome. Students must be accompanied by a chaperone. History Club is free, but reservations are appreciated and strongly encouraged.
