4-H Members learn about the Past

Local 4-H members spent a few days this summer having fun learning about the past. Youth who participated in the 4-H Heritage Days workshop cooked their meals over the campfire, learned crafts like basket weaving, tin puch and leather working. They also played games like marbles and jacks. Jane Volchanski from the Madison Historical Society shared information about Madison County. Master Naturalist Jack and Sally Price lead a nature walk and talked about how plants were important to the early citizens. It was a fun and educational event for all!
