Lead by Linda Beck - the outgoing, theatrical and incredibly well informed guide - the children made stops at the canon and the bell, the Stone house, the McCarty house, the Post Office and the Old Church. Finishing the tour at the red brick 'congregational church' the children were regaled with music and songs from days gone by from more Community Center volunteers dressed in period clothing.
At the post office the children received an additional surprise as Engineer Nick Maness and Firefighter Kyle Nordvik took the opportunity to talk with the children about fire safety - apropos as October is fire prevention month.
The Copperopolis Community Center hosts this event each year for the 2nd and 4th grade classrooms at Copperopolis Elementary, building on the knowledge that has been gleaned in the traditional classroom setting and creating a hands on learning environment to help make history come alive for the children of Copper.
