4th Grade Adirondack History Adventure
The Old Forge Library and
the Town of Webb Schools are participating in a Title III Technology
Literacy Challenge Grant. Under this grant our 4th grade students
will explore Adirondack
history through photographs, maps, objects, and primary documents
provided by the Adirondack
Museum on Blue Mountain Lake. Hands
on experiences and an interactive learning environment will encourage
the students to make observations and consider information about
people, history, and culture of the Adirondacks. |
 The
students visited the museum on June 1, 2000 and were guided through
the Adirondack logging and farming exhibits. As part of this
tour the students took notes, examined and reported on old photographs,
and were given an opportunity to handle various artifacts of
these trades. The accompanying images were taken during this
tour. |
