This eight-day field trip was for teachers, nearly 30 of them from Arena to Waukesha, and the destination was Wisconsin, more than 1,000 miles of it.
The itinerary was a study of geology, culture, history and geography. Now each participant will take her impressions and knowledge into classrooms, kindergarten to adult special ed.
(The “Here at Home Tour” was subsidized by a two-year grant from the Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment. The Wisconsin Arts Board and University of Wisconsin Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures developed the program.)
