Harvest Times

Harvest Times

(Grades 1-3)
Fall

Fall is harvest time at the American West Heritage Center! Bring your class out to discover how 1917 rural families harvested, prepared and preserved food for the long winter to come. This is a great opportunity for students to make the connection between humans, plants, animals, and the seasons of the year.
