Second graders at Lester Prairie Elementary School were treated to a “field trip” without ever leaving their school. The History Live presentation was offered through the Minnesota History Center. The interactive program allowed them to see and speak to a History Center staff member who used Google Earth to take them to Minnesota sites such as Fort Snelling, the Jeffers Petroglyphs, Eagle Mountain, and the Chippewa National Forest. Students learned about the three Minnesota biomes, the state symbols, and a timeline of Minnesota industries. They learned that agriculture is a big part of Minnesota life and that the state soil happens to be Lester soil, the soil we find right here in Lester Prairie.
