HOME SCHOOL DAY

The Oklahoma History Center presents "Home School Day" on Monday, October 4, 2010. This special program will run from 10:00 AM through 2:00 PM.
 
Join us at the Oklahoma History Center for a hands-on adventure into Oklahoma's past. Explore the museum with the help of gallery guides, follow along with our scavenger hunt, take part in hands-on demonstrations, and enjoy a variety of living history programs.

Students will find activities throughout the museum's galleries as living history characters and museum staff bring the past to life through hands-on demonstrations. Discover life on the cattle drive, explore pioneer life and the tools of the day, play turn of the century games at the museum, and more! There will be activities for students of all ages. Special living history programs will take place each hour beginning at 10:00 AM.

Home School Day is designed for family learners and Home School groups to come, experience, and do! No registration is required and you can join the activities at any time. Admission is free for students.

For more information on Home School Day contact Jason Harris at (405) 522-0785 or jharris@okhistory.org.

Annual Fund Campaign
July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010
 
In an earlier issue, we listed donors in FY10 (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010) who had donated $1,000 or more and thus were being listed on our Annual Donor Board in the History Center.  We also had many who made donations less than $1000 to the Annual Giving Campaign.  
 
This is the second list of donors who made donations of less than $1000. We are grateful to all who made contributions in addition to their membership dues!

Lunch & Learn Lecture - Finding the Girls
Oklahoma History Center
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 11:30am to 1:00pm
 
Back by popular demand!  Persons researching their families for any length of time have encountered the problems with researching females. In our society, their names change with marriage. And in the past, females could not own property or enter into contracts, which makes locating them in legal records even more difficult. So, what's a researcher to do? Learn how to consider the times and some of the techniques for researching the females in your family with Research Division Librarian Debra Spindle, PhD.

To register by mail use our registration form. To register by phone call
(405)522-5225.  Pre-registration is required and the cost is $10.  Lunch is included.
