A museum favorite, Valley Days gives school children an opportunity to understand the lifestyle of the middle to late 1800s. Throughout the day, students participate in chores such as butter making, rope making, blacksmithing and crafts such as corn husk doll making. Generations of school children have wonderful memories of experiencing the life of a pioneer child – even if only for one day! Valley Days program is $150 per class of 20 to 30 students and includes training for teachers and volunteers.

An authentic living history experience, students spend an entire day in a school environment similar to that of rural children who attended a one-room school in 1884. The class will be held in the historic Calaveras School (1866). The fee is $150 per class of 30 students.
