We'll start (and end) at the Byers-Evans
House, where, on the second day, students will experience a "Morning in the
Past".
|
|
The Four Mile House on the tour for the first day. This will give the students a chance to taste frontier life: making butter, feeding the livestock, doing laundry by hand - everything a child might have done in the 1860's. |
Students chaperones and teachers will spend the night camping at the Grant-Humphreys Mansion in Capitol Hill. |
The State Capitol was completed in 1908. The land was donated by Henry Brown (of Brown Palace fame). He insisted on a sunset view which is why the rest of the city streets are not aligned with the downtown streets. |
