Please be aware, only students second grade and up will be able to participate in the Pioneer skills. Students will get to experience four pioneer skills stations including a tour of the Daniel Boone home. Stations include:
- Animal Signs: Being aware of surroundings and animal behavior was important to the pioneers for safety, food, and trade. Students examine tracks and participate in a game exploring animal food chains.
- Black Powder: The flint lock long rifle was a necessary tool used for protection, acquiring food sources, and increasing income for frontiersmen like Daniel Boone. Students will see the many steps it takes to fire a blackpowder rifle demonstrated.
- Boone Home Tour: Tour the Boone Home and learn about the Boone’s journey to Missouri. Themes center on historic construction, family life, and children’s roles.
- Fire Starting: Students will learn the importance of fire for survival and comfort while watching a demonstration. Each participant takes home an ingenious pioneer device called a “spill”, used to light candles and lanterns.
