The Society has a number of means for providing history lessons to interested parties. Among them are our Half Day at our Hie Corner One Room School House. This program began in 1998 and continues today. Each year 800 - 1,000 students participate.
Another program is our Granny's Attic Trunks program. We have 17 trunks (foot locker size) with items depicting various aspects of life from the early 1900's. These trunks come complete with item descriptions and lesson plans.
Material for 3rd Grade Portage County History instruction is presented here.
Material for 4th Grade Wisconsin History instruction with a combination of offsite and onsite material.
The Portage County Historic Site tour has been used for several years. It is a 5 hour (9:15 - 2:15 approximately) school bus tour. The Society provides a tour guide. (Currently under development! Complete guides for the teacher and driver will be available here.)
