​

​“A Day as a Pioneer” is a full school day program that allows students to learn about regional history and experience living as an Appalachian pioneer. The program is built around 4 rotating stations that each teach a different aspect of pioneer living using hands-on activities. Groups led by an expert guide will rotate through these stations, taking approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour for each. Teachers will be provided with educational materials to be used before, during, and after the visit, which include vocabulary cards, worksheets, maps, and other relevant resources.
