February 4, 2011 - Cowboys: Stories of the American West (recommended for grades K through 5)
Learn the real stories of these iconic American figures. In the museum classroom, students hear a story, handle cowboy gear and create their own cattle brand. Next, they travel the Frazier Trail as they work in teams to complete their gallery investigation guide, examining primary and secondary sources from the American West. Observation techniques are put to work in the galleries as students compare and contrast knights and cowboys. To round up the program, students meet a cowboy and hear about life out west during our fun and interactive performance, Day in the Life: The American West.
While you're there, be sure to take time to enjoy The GOOD, the BAD, the CUDDLY. This exhibit of toys and art from the movie, Toy Story, is sure to delight the young and not-so-young alike!
