Hands-On Pioneer Field Trips
The Canadian Transportation Museum and Heritage Village is proud to offer excellent programs for elementary schools in a historic village setting featuring authentic buildings dating back to 1826. Our programs are designed to provide solid, hands-on enhancements to your pioneer studies. Feedback from students, teachers and the Boards of Education in Windsor, Essex and Chatham-Kent counties over the years has been outstanding.

Our programs are presented by an experienced professional, and are aided by talented and dedicated volunteers.

Cost per student is $5.50. There is no charge for teachers and chaperones.

In-School Program
Let us bring the pioneer past to you. We will bring historic artifacts and pioneer information to your classroom for your students to examine with their own hands. Students will manipulate tools children used from the home, the farm and the schoolhouse, including: a yoke for carrying buckets of water, a carpet beater, a butter churn, slate and chalk, a hornbook and a threshing tool. But pioneer life was not all work! Our presenter will also bring an assortment of vintage reproduction toys for a real pioneer playtime that is sure to incite wonder and laughter.

This program is available Monday to Friday any time during your school year. The program runs approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours in duration at a cost of only $100.00. Additional classes scheduled for the same day are $80.00.

Testimonials
*
"Finally! A schoolhouse program that is interactive. Great!"

* "The students enjoyed their day at the village. They enjoyed the pioneer recess activities and the new scavenger hunt (Village Detective game) was a great addition. The pioneer clothing helped add to their experience."

* "The changes (to the program) were very student friendly. The children really enjoyed playing with the pioneer toys. Also, the scavenger hunt (Village Detective game) allowed them to see all the buildings in an active, involved way. They loved the old favourites too, such as candle-making and visiting the jail. Thanks for a wonderful day!"

* "Excellent program. The leaders were very knowledgeable and understanding of children and their needs."

* "This was my 5th visit to Heritage Village. I am looking forward to next year!"
