Host a time traveler in your classroom:
A time traveler dressed in period clothing from the 1850s will come to your classroom and tell the story of Fort Nisqually, the first Euro-American settlement on Puget Sound.
The presentation begins with the history of the Hudson's Bay Company, followed by a look at the contents of the trunk that the time traveler has brought from the mid-19th century. It can be geared for grades 1-9 and lasts approximately 45 minutes. Because of the participatory nature of the presentation, it is designed for a classroom rather than an auditorium.
Fees: $75.00 for the first presentation. Please call for additional presentations and for distances beyond 15 miles of Fort Nisqually.
