Have you ever wanted to hop into a time machine and travel back to the 19th century? In a visit to Hale Farm & Village (established 1810), a Western Reserve Historical Society site, you will meet early entrepreneurs and discover how they provided the foundation for the growth of early Ohio communities. Explore the early American crafts and trades venues - pottery, glass blowing, black smithing, and more - while discovering a rural, barter-driven, pre-industrial economy. This experience leads to a discovery of entrepreneurial concepts and key vocabulary acquisition set among rich and immersive Ohio history.
Badge connections: Brownie Budding Entrepreneur; Junior Business Jumpstart (badges must be purchased separately).
Western Reserve Historical Society fun patches are available for purchase on site for an additional $10.00.
If attending as a troop, please meet the GSUSA girl-to-adult ratio minimum as to allow enough space for everyone in the program.
Optional on-your-own opportunity: Program fee includes museum admission. Bring a sack lunch; enjoy exploring the beautiful grounds and 34 historical structures that make up Hale Farm & Village after the program!
