Family Field Trip
October 19, 2024, 1pm
Registration required
Students of all ages enjoy visiting Wolf Gap on field trips - so we decided to share the fun with the whole family!
Our Family Field Trip will give you the opportunity to enjoy all the fun and learning of a Wolf Gap field trip with the following schedule of activities:
Old-Fashioned Toys: Try playing with a wide selection of old-fashioned toys and gain perspective on how children’s lives have changed over time.
Sheep to Shawl: Learn about the steps to making your own clothing, from start (the sheep) to finish (the shawl)! Help prepare wool for spinning into thread, and see a spinning wheel in action.
Open Hearth Cooking: Enter our historic log cabin kitchen and see, smell, hear, feel, and even taste what it was like to cook food over an open fire.
Corn Shuck Dolls: Make your own corn shuck doll to take home as you learn just how historic this simple toy actually is!
Butter Churning: Explore the value of dairy on the historic homestead as you churn - and taste! - fresh butter.
Just like a real field trip, your family will rotate through these activities on a set schedule, visiting each station for approximately 25-30 minutes. The entire field trip is expected to conclude no later than 4pm.
Registration is required to participate in the Family Field Trip. The cost to participate is $5 for anyone ages 4-64, with no charge for anyone ages 0-3 or 65+. Registration closes on Wednesday October 16.
