Heritage Farmstead Museum Field Trip
August - November

Third Graders all over Plano ISD will have a chance to visit the Heritage Farmstead Museum. This trip takes us to a local museum, which interprets life as it might have been on a Backland Prairie farm in the 1890s. The trip will show Plano as a farming community and how it grew into a huge suburb in less than 20 years. There are three main goals for this field trip:

• To help young people weigh the events and change in modern life by understanding what has preceded it.To give an appreciation for human adaptability, an understanding of the freedom, the choices, and the challenges of the modern world through the comparison of the world of previous generations.
• To study and observe how modern society has evolved and the way people solved their problems in the past, in order to identify and solve modern problems
