The Mennonite Heritage Village has developed an interpretive Spring & Summer School Program based on Mennonite pioneer life.

The focus of the program is a tour of the Village. The students will go from building to building where they will be welcomed by an interpreter dressed in period costume. Interpreters will be in the buildings from 10 am to 12 noon.

Each class should be divided into 10-15 students per group before arrival, with one adult supervisor accompanying each group.

The students will have an opportunity to experience how life was lived in a late nineteenth century Mennonite Village.
