Heritage Center Field Trip

Last Friday 4th grade took a walking field trip to Adair Park for a [COLD!] morning of presentations.  We witnessed exhibits and 'testimonies' of historical figures such as Harriet Tubman, a Revolutionary War soldier and a woman representing a Native American clad in animal derived clothing.  From an archaeologist we learned 'projectile points' and how they were used for weaponry from the tribes in and around our region (we also learned how to make a fire!).  We were able to step into the Mary Gay House and the Swanton House, Decatur's oldest standing building.  We learned of the homes history of being the only two structures still standing post civil war.  Check out some pictures below :)

Thanks for supporting our field trip!
