YOUNG HISTORIAN PROGRAM AT THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE MUSEUM

The Historical Society of Twentynine Palms is encouraging youth with a special program. Reporter Rebecca Havely has details…
The goal of the Twentynine Palms Historical Society’s Young Historian program is to encourage the youth of Twentynine Palms to become more familiar with our local history. Our area has been a crossroads and melting pot for many cultures throughout time. Exhibits and information at the Old Schoolhouse Museum touch on Native Americans, miners, cattlemen, early pioneer families, and the military. It is a wonderful launch point for young minds. Accompanied by an adult, the prospective Young Historian will:
1. Complete the Hunting for History at the Old Schoolhouse Museum.
2. Complete the Mural Tour of Twentynine Palms and visit Veterans Park.
3. Visit the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center and walk the Oasis of Mara Nature Trail.
4. On the Old Schoolhouse grounds, walk the Frances Sabol Eco Trail, visit the Old Mining and Hastie Bus Exhibits and describe the Twentynine Palms Historical Society logo to the docent on staff.
Once this mission is complete, each inductee will receive a commemorative T-shirt designating their new status as a Young Historian.
The program currently focuses on students in grades 3 through 6.

Young Historian brochures may be picked up at the museum or downloaded from our Young Historian webpage, http://www.29palmshistorical.com/young_historian.php
