Campfire to
Courthouse
|
Fourth graders in
the Lancaster City
Schools had the
opportunity to
explore the history
of Lancaster and
Fairfield County
through the Campfire
to Courthouse
program May 17-21.
They climbed the
stairs at the
Sherman House Museum
that Gen. William T.
Sherman and U.S.
Senator John Sherman
used as boys and
tried out the
not-so-modern
kitchen utensils.
After a quick tour
of Samuel
Maccracken's 13-room
mansion they had the
opportunity to pick
up a quill dipped in
ink and try to
imagine schoolwork
before ballpoint pen
or computers.
For over 25 years both city and county schools
have been
participating in the
Campfire to
Courthouse program.
Just as many of
their parents
remember their
Campfire to
Courthouse
experience, today's
students enjoyed
their opportunity to
not just read about
history but walk
through historic
downtown Lancaster.
