Family SaturdaysActivities are Free with Admission!
Saturday, May 18, 2013 Families have the opportunity to spend an afternoon at Turkey Creek School making crafts with the schoolmarm and playing historic games. The living history activities offer a fun way to learn the history of the region and help develop a deeper appreciation for why and how tasks were accomplished in the early pioneering days of the Cherokee Strip. Spending time at Turkey Creek School allows kids to experience a typical school day in 1910. One Saturday each month the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center will host living history activities for the whole family in Humphrey Heritage Village from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. |
