Oklahoma History - 2

We're taking our second Oklahoma history field trip today. We're off to Ponca City to see the Pioneer Woman Museum, then to Perry to see the Cherokee Strip Museum and the Rose Hill School. Tomorrow, we're planning to go to Stillwater to see Oklahoma State University, (that's where I went to college!), and then to Pawnee to see the Pawnee Bill Museum. If we have time, we'll take a jaunt over to Jim Thorpe's Home.

This is the way history was meant to be learned: through seeing actual artifacts and exhibits, and through reading "living" books! (Wish my history teachers in public school had taught history this way!)
