Saint Peter Middle School

A group of Saint Peter Middle School fifth-grade students made the trek to the McGowan Farm in rural Mankato in mid-October for the annual History Fest event. There the SPMS students experienced hands-on learning opportunities with periods in history, and they also had the chance to interact with people outside of their own home/community, broadening their horizons.

The event’s website touts the day as a chance for students to, “Get a taste of what it was like in days gone by. (There) you’ll find a variety of entertainers and activities ranging from Historical Interpreters of 17th century Scotland and the Old West to belly dancers, launching a catapult, cider making, cannon shooting and so much more.”
