History Lesson

On April 2o, the Chelsea Area Historical Society presented two programs to second grade students at North Creek Elementary. Janet Ogle-Mater and Gerri Anderson conducted a play with the children about the settlement of Chelsea.

Two other CAHS members, George Till and Cynthia Furlong Reynolds, engaged the students with a number of early American antiques while talking about immigration, pioneers, and the Civil War. During the remainder of the day, second grade teachers held class in “one-room schoolhouses” and taught as in olden days.
