Historical Society News:

Registration is open for spring sessions of Time Travelers, the after-school drop-off program for elementary school students from the Los Alamos Historical Society.

Time Travelers sets students on an adventure of exploration, investigating local history through artifacts in the Los Alamos History Museum and hands-on activities.

Time Travelers has sessions coming up in March, April and May.

Sessions for 1st-3rd grade students meet second Wednesdays, and sessions for 4th–6th grade students meet third Wednesdays. Sessions meet 1:15-3 p.m. in Fuller Lodge.

Pre-registration is required. Registration for each session is limited to 10 students. A donation of $5 per session is suggested. Details and registration information are available at www.losalamoshistory.org/childrens_programs.

In March, the class will get ready for spring by planting seedlings and learning about the history of farming and gardening on the Pajarito Plateau. In April, they will study the Cerro Grande Fire and learn how to practice resilience in their own lives. May will give students the special opportunity for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Historical Society Archives.
