Program Description

Event Details

Van Young offers Part 4 in a 4-part lecture series on pioneer life in America: "Daily Life on the Farm." What was involved in eking out an existence in the American west? What were the roles of men, women, and children? What were the challenges of farming and the caring of animals? Were the children educated? How did technology finally make life easier for families? How did these settlers impact the growth of America? Van Young is the President of the Worthington Griswold Center History Study Group and a member of several Civil War Roundtable discussion groups.

This free program is part of our lifelong learning series, Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner, and, in part, by Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
