The Museum has chosen to convey five periods of our history through the stories and settings of five children: An Iroquois Girl in the 1700′s; A Colonial Apprentice in the 1740′s; A Pioneer Girl in the 1850′s; An Immigrant Boy in 1900; and A Boy of the Great Migration in the 1940′s.

We invite your suggestions about experiences, props, and educational activities to include in each experience.
