Adventures in History July 11, 2011

Adventures in History offers children the opportunity to experience life in the South Platte Valley in the 19th century. Participants learn about the life of a typical farm family in 1860s and 1890s Colorado through a variety of hands-on activities carried out on the museum's two living history farms. In past years, children have enjoyed blacksmithing, taking care of livestock, cooking a meal, and completing 19th century craft projects. Registration is open to students who are entering the fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in the fall. Cost for the program is $90 per child. Registration is limited to 20 children per week, and is open only to City of Littleton residents and members of the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum (FOLM). Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously participated in Adventures in History. The Littleton Museum will accept hand-delivered registration forms from April 1 through April 24. All other registrations must be postmarked by April 22.
