Colonial Animals and Community Animals played an important role in the survival of colonists. Students will learn about the role of chickens, oxen, pigs, and sheep by visiting the many animals at our farm. Colonists survived by supporting each other in a community. Students will learn about the importance of community and family jobs.
Colonial Cooking Participants will make a colonial bread and learn about the many ingredients that colonists relied on for cooking. And of course, we will need to sample our colonial breads!
