A limited number of spaces remain available for the 2016 Pioneer School at Century Village Museum. Reservations should be immediately made to be assured of participation in this year’s program that begins on Monday, July 11, 2016.
Continuing one of the area’s longest-standing traditions, the Geauga County Historical Society is pleased to offer its 44th Annual Pioneer School. This program will take place on the grounds of the Century Village Museum, in Burton, Ohio, during the week of July 11-15, 2016, mornings and early afternoons. This instructional offering presents to students, eight through twelve years of age, a wonderful opportunity to learn the traditions, activities, and culture of the early settlers of Geauga County and participate in a wide-array of pioneer activities including making paper, whitewashing a fence, broom making, stenciling, and bullet making. A Blacksmithing demonstration, square dancing, and other group activities will be included. Enrollment is limited to eighty students so an early registration is requested to assure availability. There will also be an ice cream social and program-ending family picnic.
The cost of the week-long Pioneer School is $95 per child for Society members and $115 per child for non-members. You may wish to consider purchasing a family membership in the Society to qualify for the discount. This membership provides other benefits such as free admission to the Society’s fee-based events, a cost-free tour of the historic buildings on the grounds, store discounts, and a periodic newsletter.
Remember the 2016 Pioneer School, July 11-15, 2016. A great educational and social experience for youngsters, reasonably priced and conveniently located. For more information and to register, call Century Village Museum at 440-834-1492 during business hours on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
