Bristol 4th graders history tour

Bristol Indiana Elementary School 4th graders took a walk into history on Wed. May 15, 2013 at the Elkhart County Historical Museum. Staff members Matt, Patrick and Liz led the tour through four different room exhibits in the museum that showed early life in Indiana. Fourth grade students in Indiana study local history as part of their lessons. After the tour, students worked on history-related crafts and ate lunch in the old Bristol High School gym.
