Inlet Common School students celebrated the end of their Parents as Reading Partners program by taking a tour of the Goodsell Museum in Old Forge on Friday, March 28th.
Museum Director Kate Lewis provided the students with general information and explained museum etiquette prior to conducting the tour. Then the children were separated into two groups: kindergarten through second grade and third through sixth, with Administrative Assistant Kristy Rubyor handling the younger students.
Lewis took charge of the older group who had the opportunity to view the historic files, maps and photographs in the research room.
Lewis said all the students were especially interested in the featured exhibit, Webb: Wired to Wireless which showcases the evolution of technological advances in the area in the last century. They had a particular fascination with the typewriters, she said, which the students were allowed to use. The Victrola was also a big hit.
Following the tour the students and teachers went to McCauley Mountain where they enjoyed lunch and an afternoon of skiing.
