Winter in Plains
2nd Grade Field Trip
Step back in time to experience what winter was like for families living on Nebraska’s plains in the 19th century. Students will visit historic homes and take part in seasonal chores that would have kept families busy during the colder months. Along the way, they’ll also explore the holiday traditions and gifts of the era, gaining insight into how people celebrated in different time periods. Class sites include the 1850s Vieregg Cabin, 1880s Hired Man’s House, 1890s Peter Stuhr House, and 1900s Cleary Farmhouse, with each location offering a unique peek into life during a different decade.
