The Moultrie County History Center had the pleasure of meeting 35 of your 7th grade students on Thursday, April 30th, when they arrived to tour the Moultrie County History Museum and Research Library. Kudos to Mrs. Pope, Mr. Christensen and Mrs. Yantis for having the students ready to listen, engage and learn.
It was a two-hour "teaching tour", therefore, museum docents shared in great detail the stories depicted in 8 of the museum's major exhibits, featuring the history of the place your students call home...Moultrie County. In addition, our museum librarian introduced a bit of Museology to the students, explaining the What? How? and Why? of our museum. Another volunteer enlightened them on the vast information awaiting them in the museum's library, sharing photos from Bethany's past, files that contained photos and articles of several of the students' relatives and a map that depicted where Native Americans of the past made their homes in the Bethany and Findlay area. In the attached photos, you will see the students visiting a few of the major exhibits that were covered during their visit.
Due to time constraints, they were not able to spend additional time browsing through the remaining exhibits that weren't included in the teaching tour. We hope that they will be able to return in the near future to enjoy those exhibits, too.
The young people who joined us were excellent representatives of Okaw Valley Middle School! We appreciated being a part of Mrs. Pope's teaching day,
