Arrow Rock was founded in 1829. The place was well-known to Native Americans and early western explorers. Lewis and Clark dropped by in 1804 on their journey to the Pacific Ocean. The town is largely preserved as it was in the mid-19th century. We invite you and your students to come and walk our wooden boardwalk, visit our 2-room schoolhouse and learn more about famous Missourians.

1st grade
1.LS1.A.1 Use materials to design a solution to a human problem
by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their
external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet
their needs.
2nd grade
2.LS2.A.1 Plan and conduct investigations on the growth of
plants when growing conditions are altered.
3rd grade
3.LS3.C.1 Construct an argument with evidence that in a
particular ecosystem some organisms -- based on
structural adaptations or behaviors -- can survive well,
some survive less well, and some cannot. [Clarification
Statement: Examples of evidence could include needs
and characteristics of the organisms and habitats
involved. The organisms and their habitat make
up a system in which the parts depend on each other.]

~ GUIDELINES ~
Students $7.00 each. When you arrive we will place students into groups of approximately 20 students to maximize learning. You can organize into groups before arrival.
Teachers Attend free. As it should be.
Parents (and other adults NOT employed by the school ) may join the program at a cost of $10 (cash only). Our first consideration is the children. The log schoolhouse is very small, it’s a tight fit with 20 students and one adult.
Phones making noise is not conducive to learning. Please silence
mobile devices.
Photographs are also welcomed, and our interpreters will give time for photos at the end of the program.
