Studying the Wild West: Building a Pioneer Wagon

We’ve been studying Western expansion for a few months now, and the kids were fascinated by the Oregon Trail.  I mean, whole families traveling thousands of miles in a covered wagon – how could you not want to know exactly how that worked?  Because of that fascination, we decided to build our own pioneer wagon.… Continue reading Studying the Wild West: Building a Pioneer Wagon

Studying the Wild West: Going on a Trail Ride

We’re studying the Wild West this semester, and it’s impossible to do so without noting the importance of the horse to this expansion.  From pioneers moving west to the Pony Express, stagecoaches, and cowboys, horses played a huge role in it all.  With that in mind, I scheduled a horse lesson and trail ride so… Continue reading Studying the Wild West: Going on a Trail Ride
