Went with my first graders last week and was not impressed. As a farm, was expecting more animals and hands on activities to engage students. Instead it was a lot of story telling and not well planned activities. Perhaps it was just that we had a poor guide. He was very graphic about some violent aspects of the Dakota life talking about cutting open a buffalo head and using the brains to smash on the hide and stabbing muscrats until the whole family was dead. At one point he demonstrated how to build a teepee. He was not very clearly about explaining what to do and at one point walked away from the wooden posts and they fell over nearly missing a 6 year olds head by inches! She would have been seriously injured had they hit her. We ended at a bracelet making activity that was very challenging for most of the 6 year olds and required a lot of adult assistance. I tried to keep things moving so we wouldn't miss our busses and reminded him that we had to meet busses and were running late. He had the nerve to tell a fellow tour guide as we were leaving that we "had trouble rounding up the kids" and that was why we were late. Next year we will be looking for a new field trip location.
Fun to learn, different tours (Pioneer and Native American), live farm animals to see include goats, pigs, chickens
Great time had by our entire family as we visited our oldest at the social to conclude her Pioneer Girl Camp!!!
To tour guides are fantastic and very knowledgeable in the history of the farm and family that lived there. A lot of different things going on, such as metal foraging, ice cream social and a couple different tours. Really enjoyed our morning and learned a lot as well.
Great place to learn about the past. Sent my 10 year old there for a week of day camps and she loved it!
