Down on the Farm with Carver County Historical Society

This program is intended for youth ages 6 to 10 years old. Can you imagine life 150 years ago? Without Wifi, without electric toasters, without even an indoor toilet? Participants will try their hand at homesteading and discover aspects of pioneer life from growing the crops to going to the bathroom. Students will get a chance to handle and use all of the artifacts. This program is designed to explore the differences between family life today and yesterday, and to let students discover what hard work it was to farm and keep house during the 1880s
