History Farm’s Curricula

Click on a culture below to review the brief summary descriptions found on the pedestal boards along the Farm’s staging area paths. When completed and established at a larger site, the Farm is designed to teach public school students more State History visually in 2 hours than what is now learned/retained from textbooks in the State’s mandatory secondary level’s (7th grade) 90 hours! We find that with visual examples, one can teach for retention in a 2-hour walk, many home schoolers attesting.
