Salt Museum Field Trip 2012

Eyeruse - The BureaucratThe whole school visited The Salt Museum which is located in Onondaga Lake Park. This is without doubt one of the best local field trips for elementary school children. Ghost Maggie brought the history of the Salt Industry in Syracuse to life with her humor and knowledge. Ghost Maggie introduced the many ghosts (played by our students) who shared their contributions to the salt industry. We heard from Pierre LeMoyne, a willow basket maker, a joiner, and many others. Those students who did not have acting parts were given the job of experts, introducing us to important information located around the museum. P1180398 P1180395
