Falcon Rest Manor

2008-09-11T13:12:00.000-07:00

This summer our program visited beautiful McMinnville, Tennessee and Falcon Rest Manor. This was truly one of the most enjoyable field trips I have ever been on. The students were divided into three groups and the groups rotated to different activities throughout the visit. Students took a tour of Falcon Rest Manor, played Victorian Era games in the garden, and visited the gift shop to see toys and other interesting memorabilia from the Victorian Era. We were treated to a delicious lunch in the carriage house and learned about table manors and the "Language of the Fans". Our host and hostess were most gracious! We planted a tree in the garden. Our host even took us on a tour of McMinnville and Rock Island State Park. If you are ever in McMinnville, Tennessee, you have got to visit Falcon Rest Manor, "Where is history is fun!"

Mayfield Dairy Field Trip

2008-09-10T12:10:00.000-07:00

We loved the Mayfield Dairy! What a great place to visit on a hot day. The students learned how milk and ice cream were packaged and then got to sample a tasty treat. After our tour, we went to the beautiful Athens Regional Park for lunch and fun. Thanks to all the teachers and parents who helped out on the trip.
