The following programs are associated with the Price County Historical Society.
Traveling Trunk
The Traveling Trunk program is an educational outreach project co-sponsored by The Price County Historical Society and The Price County Veterans Service. The goal of the project is to have a W.W. II footlocker filled with military paraphernalia from each branch of service from the Civil War to the present time period. The footlocker, accompanied by local Veterans armed with lesson plans, will travel to your school, classroom, library, etc. In some cases, a hands on presentation will be used. The presentation will show students and others what the soldier was issued, such as: uniform, gas mask, canteen, and other equipment. Explanation of insignias, medals and ribbons will be included. The presentation will also show the relationship (training and equipment) between past and present veterans. Time of the presentation will be tailored to your needs. Contact person for the Price County Historical Society is John Weindorfer at 715-762-3501, or contact the Price County Veterans Service at 715-339-2545.
Have Museum Will Travel
The Price County Historical Society has a program that takes artifacts from the 1890's to the early 1900's into the classroom. It is a hands on type of presentation tailored to students from fourth grade on up. The program blends in the best if presented within an historical unit of study. The presenter will wear period clothes while demonstrating the use of artifacts, such as: dishes, clothes, pictures, tools and other everyday items. Duration of the presentation can be tailored to classroom needs. A mileage fee is charged for presentations outside of the Price County area.
