Shelburne Museum Trip

On Friday students enjoyed a visit to the Shelburne Museum.  We toured the museum in groups, combining visits to areas of particular interest to the students (the Ticonderoga, the circus barn, an elaborate private railway car much like the one we've encountered while reading Lion Boy, the old Colchester Reef Lighthouse and the ever-popular jail) with participation in activities designed and presented by museum staff.  Various groups of students took part in a bartering activity, paper-making and a transportation scavenger hunt.
