FIRST FRIDAY, “Cowboys: Stories of the American West” February 4, 2011

Learn the real stories of these iconic American figures. In the museum classroom students hear a story, handle cowboy gear and create their own cattle brand. Next, they travel the “Frazier Trail” as they work in teams to complete their gallery investigation guide, examining primary and secondary sources from the American West. Observation techniques are put to work in the galleries as students compare and contrast knights and cowboys. To “round up” the program, students meet a cowboy and hear about life out west during our fun and interactive performance, “Day in the Life: The American West.” Advanced reservations and payment required. Call (502) 753-5663 to reserve a spot today! (Recommended for grades K-5.)
