vehicles in the Sterquell Collection --- wagons for work and play, in
the city and on the farm. Students will be asked to put themselves
in the role of a pioneer in a covered wagon, a cattle drover on the
Chisholm Trail, or a chuck wagon cook during a Spring Roundup.

Trail

and ready (saddle/bridle) his horse for a long, trail drive.
2 -
Cowboy Alphabet

importance of a brand and why they were used, then they “brand” a
long horn
(a flyer

City of Fort Worth).
3 - The
ChuckWagon
-
Supplies "packed" on the "cook's wagon" for the trail drive.
Magnets in the form of supplies are used to so the kids can simulate
the supplies and pack for their trip!

Treasures on the Trail
– Dig in the
sawdust for an arrowhead amongst the dust and rocks! Learn
the history behind the arrowhead.
High School Students
