A nature scavenger hunt and a presentation with a live screech owl round out this program. This program is extremely popular with our younger visitors who are just discovering the wonders of their senses. This program includes a Norskedalen slide orientation. An explanation of exhibit artifacts precedes a visit to our Bekkum pioneer homestead where children will tour twelve buildings, examine period farm equipment, and participate in various activities, including some hands-on. Demonstrations may include lefse or flatbread making, butter making, cloths washing, or blacksmithing.
Activities are dependent on volunteer talents available for the day.
