Bring the kids by the Holland Land Office Museum for our new History Storytime for Summer 2024. On Saturday, July 27th at 11 am Joyce Thompson-Hovey will be sharing life in the "Early Schools of the 1800s." It covers not only the role of the student and teachers during this period but also what school was like both in the North and the South. There is lots of class participation because we run it like a typical school day back then. Admission is $5 or $3 or museum members. If you would like to sign up please contact the museum at 585-343-4727 or [email protected].
After graduating from Oswego State with a BS in Secondary Social Studies and from Brockport State with a BS in Elementary Ed, Joyce Thompson taught for 40 years with experience in pre-first to Senior year in high school. After retiring in 2011, Joyce became a Civil War reenactor, Genesee Area Genealogist president, and Genesee Valley Civil War Roundtable president.
