3rd Grade Field Trip to Detroit Historical Museum

Third grade students had an exciting trip to the Detroit Historical Museum, where they experienced history firsthand. They felt real beaver pelts, learned about the iconic Model T car, and saw an antique fire truck up close. Walking through the lanes of historic Detroit, they got a glimpse of the city’s past and the many stories that have shaped its future!
