Junior Historians
 
Old City Park Junior Historians class of 2004
Do you love history? Have
you always wondered what life was like �back then?� And are you between the
ages of 11 and 18? Then consider joining the Junior Historians of Old City
Park! 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, Junior Historians volunteer--whether it be at a special
event, as a building guide, or as part of a group volunteer project. In
addition, our Junior Historians participate in the Junior Historian Book
Club, where we read a variety of historical fiction.

All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor�available at the museum store or other

Five young sisters experience life in New
York's Lower East Side at the beginning of the 20th century. The close-knit
group encounters everyday realities such as boring chores, missing library
books, and trips to the Rivington Street market, as well as those details which
bring the early 1900's to life--scarlet fever, peddlers, and bathing at
Coney Island. Woven into the story are the traditions and holidays of the Jewish
religion.
