HSM Programming adds Mobile Education Station

/in /by

We are so grateful to the Umatilla County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust for funding our new mobile education station. The Pendleton Wal-Mart store has helped us stock the cart with supplies through their monthly giving program.

The Umatilla County Historical Society has been working to increase programming at Heritage Station Museum that encourages awareness of the culture and heritage in Umatilla County. Our programming aims to create hands on experiences, demonstrations by local artists/tradespersons, and an opportunity to learn through participation and interactions.

Some of the planned uses for the mobile station are listed below:

  • STEM activities that focus on wheat agriculture, weather patterns, and drone use in farming.
    • Soil and Ground water experiments
    • Growing food
    • Drone building
  • Oregon trail education such as wagon building, wagon loading (in a block/puzzle form).
  • Heritage/Pioneer crafts
    • Basket weaving
    • Wool education
    • Butter churning
    • Other weaving techniques
  • Lectern for presentations in the our classroom.
