Do
you love history? Have you always wondered what life was like �back then?�
Every year, Junior Historians participate in a week long camp that gives them
the tools they need to be volunteers at Old City Park. Then, throughout the
year, they volunteer--whether it be at a special event, as a building guide, or
as part of a group volunteer project. In addition, you can participate in the
Junior Historian Book Club, where we read a variety of historical fiction.
Junior Historians must fill
out an application to participate in the program. Details & a copy of the
application are available at our website:
www.oldcitypark.org/junior.htm, or call or
email the Program Manager
214-413-3671.

Historian Web Page & Book Club!!
