Last Friday, students in the History Club had the opportunity to do primary and secondary research at the Minnesota History Center in St.Paul. It was an amazing experience as students were expected to act and think like historical researchers. They were able to request and reference various primary sources only available at the History Center. When students weren't conducting research on their Country School project for the Depot or their History Day projects, they were able to explore the History Center's many exhibits. It was a great day!
